Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox360-NXE HDD VS DVD


I'm not sure if this is real

Around the Network

It's possible, the HDDs work at significant better speed than DVDs, that's why all those loading times are better on HDD, it's one of the reasons why some devs prefer to do installs on the PS3...



That's pretty impressive.




the small cutscene didn't exist in the hdd side which seems fishy to me. 



That's pretty cool, I don't really ever mind load times, but for games that I know I'll be playing a lot I'll definitely use the feature. I'm slightly excited about the new XB experience =)

This is actually very true. HDD can load faster than DVD.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

That is nice for boot times. I will use this feature the most for Mass Effect, though.

 I noticed that too.

Also when was the DVD version started, seems to me that it was started later than the HDD.

go installs :)



I prefer to wait 4-5s more then to install games. It is just 4-5s, not 20 or 30!
