There is a big difference between an “optional” install for performance and “you can’t play this game without losing 10 Gb of HDD space”.

MS went with the first, Sony went with the second, so no, not the same thing at all fanboy.

Why did “loading your game” take longer using the HDD? Isn’t the whole point that it drops loading time? ._.

I have mass effect(asian version) installed on my 20GB hdd(21.11.2006) and I still have loading text sometimes. Especially when I move around the wards(flux in/out) but menus are noticeably quicker in response.

I would say the heat is less but it is minimal. HDD will produce MUCH less heat then a CD drive. However the head from a CD is minimal anyhow.

I would look into upgrading your 360 HDD with a solid state drive, theres no moving parts and it runs MUCH quicker… I would not be suprised if it cut the load times down by 15 to 20 percent is more games.

No the solid states are not a MS product. I can’t wait until I get NXE to try it out…
