Installing COD4 onto the hard-drive at the moment. Its not as slow a I expected. One thing that is slightly annoying me though, is when you press the Xbox button on the controller, the new new menu that comes up in-game looks really poor quality - like it wasnt made for high-definition. So I'm having to look hard, where as before I could quickly take note of things then continue gaming.

I think it's just a skin on MyGamerCard.net

Thanks for the link shism. Xbox forums are down, you can't log in so I can't verify my account at the moment - which means I can't get my gamerpic up

COD4 runs a LOT faster off the hard-drive! And no irritating disk-drive noise either

I didn't realise how noisy it was, until there was silence - it's great!

Woooo its awesome, the "mii" like avator is so much better when you see/create yours than it looks in the screenshots. All seems to work nicely, installed gta on the hdd and it was nice not to have the noisy drive spinning...but my fan is pretty loud. So...my excuse to get a new 60gb is...my fans still noisy and 20gb isnt enough to save many games!

This is quite cool and was a pleasant surprise before my weekly dose of Fifa.

Parkdude · 19-11-08, 09:22 PM

Loving the Elite now - got 6 games and 20gb of demos on my HD and still got loads of room left

xbox360guy · 19-11-08, 09:33 PM

hmmm. i may go get a 360 for fun now lol... an ACTUAL decent update. gotta say storing games on the hard drive is pretty decent...

but i'm confused. couldn't you just borrow your m8s game then save it to your hard drive... no need to buy it? if so then people will lose ALOT of money!

Jon · 19-11-08, 09:38 PM

spent the last hour playing with it

nah u still need the disc. it just speeds up games apparently

xbox360guy · 19-11-08, 09:43 PM

so you still need to actually put the game disk in the console? -.- i'd rather have a slightly noisy xbox than no storage on my hard drive.. and it can't really speed the games up that much.

LewisT · 19-11-08, 10:19 PM

Typical... my router works perfectly until the day of the update release then BOOM.. it goes tits up

Suppose I'll have to wait then!!

If it does work, it's a pretty good idea to be honest
