There are several problems with this. Even if we extracted and uploaded full games no one could use it unless they had a copy of the game. Even if it would work for other 360's digiex would never even have the thought of uploading a full game as that would be illegal. Also the massive upload times and that is space that digiex doesn't have.

why would they need a copy of the game if it was install in the hd?

 

[P.KID]

so that you can play it. M$ has made sure that ideas lyk these wont help piracy go up. so they made sure that you hav to put in the game.

 

[InsaneNutter]

I still think all retail games should come with a code so you can install the game and play it without the disc as long as your signed in to live, yes you could loan a friend the disc then but i still think it would be nice

so when i put in a game i get the option of installing it to hd so the xbox can run quiter.can i not remove the game disc then?

 

[Dark Scyth]

You can remove the game. Though if you have the space to keep it I recommend keeping it, as it makes it quieter and is less of a strain on the 360. If you want to delete it just go to your Hard Drive click on games and find the game that you installed to your HDD then click on the one that says Xbox 360 Game and delete that one.

but i mean can i remove the disc and run the game from the hd alone

 

[Dark Scyth]

Well, there is a way but if the 360 powers off or resets the disc would have to be put back in. There is a button on the bottom of the 360 (if its standing up) or to the right (if the 360 if flat). The button is inside the holes in order to press it you'd need a paper clip or something like that to press it. When this is done the game can still play and the disc tray will be open.

so what u mean is by pressing this button u can play the game from the hd with out ever using the game disc again

 

[InsaneNutter]

No you need the game disc in every time you want to play the game, only use I can see for it is at Xbox lans or something.

I thought I summed that up...

 

[lk555]

ok i get it now thanks.i wish there was a way of playing the game from hd without the game disc like the way demos can play.anyway thanks everyone

 

[HeadHunterX]

you could do that but it requires that you use a paper clip to force the disk drive open ( not recommended)

 

[lk555]

ya dont want to damage it anyway

 

[Dark Scyth]

If your not quick you could damage the disc but other then that no damage should come to the 360.
