Does anyone actually install their games anyway? I mean what does it do except for apparently reducing load times? Personally I have never had a problem with load times with my 360 games.

There are a number of advantages when installing games to the HDD

1. Reduced loading times

2. Much more quiet as disc doesn't spin

3. Less heat generated

4. Increases the reliability and lifespan of the 360

5. Games that stream textures from the disc (like COD games and many UE3 games) stream it much quicker if game installed.
