I'm pretty sure you can install one disk, but i would also like some confirmation.

You can. A guy who uploaded a video on youtube just installed the third disk and didn't need to install the rest according to one of his replies.

EDIT: It was the third disk and it wasn't the video creator. Just some random reply, so yeah, take that as you will. Although I'm certain it works that way as you'd have to being fucking retarded to change the coding in such a way to make you install all of them. Granted I could see Microsoft doing that so people would buy larger HDD's too, so meh.

Awesome, thanks for clarifying

I seriously adore this feature. With my 120 gig drive, i have ~17-18 games installed and i never hear that satanic DVD drive spin up, and no more DRE's. In fact first game im finishing using hard drive is gears 1 on Insane difficulty because i can finally finish it without a DRE.

I can hardly wait until my 360 stops sounding like it's about to explode while playing World at War multiplayer.

Banjo-Kazooie:Nuts & Bolts.............[6.6GB]

[YodaEXE]

Mirror's Edge - 5.7GB

[gordojones88]

Woo-Hoo! I installed one not on the list, so you have to include it.

Turok Demo disc : 3.9GB

Shows up under games, not demos.

Edit: Wow, Turok full game isn't on the list. Anybody?

[David Hibiki]

Alone in The Dark - 6.5 Gigs
Amped 3 - 6.7
Blitz: The League 1- 6.4
Top Spin 2 - 5.4
NHL 07 - 3.4
NHL 2k8 - 6.7

I burned these just to give you the exact size for your OP. I did not test any of these for frame rate/draw distance/whatever improvements. Obviously the chances of someone playing old sports games are low, but whatever I just did it for completionist sake. I only plan on playing one of these anyways once they get patched (Alone in the Dark).

[psunami]

DiRT 6.4 GB

[KingBroly]

Can someone tell me what the load times for N&B are while installed? While not installed, N&B is ridiculous, 15-30 seconds per load.

[David Hibiki]

What's N&B? Ninjas and Bitches?

[KingBroly]

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

But Ninjas and Bitches would be a 100+ million seller.

I'll get a size for you on that alittle later, surprised it's not on the list already.

Edit: Turok - 6.6GB

So is anyone really noticing a difference when playing the game with it being installed? Any games specifically shine because of this feature?

Fable II is wonderful installed. Normally, it reads off the disc pretty constantly, but now the system is wonderfully quiet. Other than that, I haven't noticed any huge changes. Fallout 3 loads a bit faster, but not a huge amount. I haven't really installed many other games yet, so I can't comment on more than that.

[lilboo]

So this really just makes the 360 STFU?
That's good enough, IMO!

[Draekon]

Online Multiplayer won't really decrease load times, but at least you won't hear the drive spin.

[TheAggroCraig]

I have good news: Some of Sonic 360s load times are cut, but not all of them...

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention because I know everyone out there loves this game.

I don't think it's a matter of if they've been cut or not, but a matter of how long they've been cut.

After a few minutes of gameplay in graphically intensive games will cause the fans to rise to near full speed and the system is still pretty loud... but not quite as loud as the fans/DVD combo.

Is there a site, or something out there where people have tested the hard drive vs disc loading on various games?

[SynGamer]

There are various posts, but hardware varies among 360s, especially DVD drives. So it would be hard to get a good comparison. It's safe to assume that for 95% of the games, load times are quicker if the game is installed.

But it will slightly vary as SynGamer pointed out.

Cool thanks linkin for the link.
