saving games onto hardrive of xbox??

**claypole55** · 09-10-10, 06:44 PM

I have heard in the past people saying they saved the game onto the xbox instead of damaging the cd! Does anyone know how to do this??

On the Xbox 360 Dashboard, go to game library (with the game in the dvd tray obviously) and select the game from the list of games displayed, and then press A. It should then say something along the lines of "Install to Hard Drive".

You have to leave the game in the tray while playing, but the 360 only uses it to verify you have the game. It no longer spins during games. They have made it this way to prevent people renting / borrowing games instead of buying them.

Its also improves the loading times of most games. On Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I could get half way to the enemies base before anyone else had loaded in the game because I installed it
