If you didn't know you can install disc games to your HD, saves wear and tear on the dvd drive, cuts down on the noise in the old xbox design and improves load times in most games. Worth doing for any game you play most.
I know XBL has a lot of cool shit on it. I'm just pretty time/cash strapped (i.e. right now I'm waiting for my kids to settle into their naps before house work before I do an 8 hour shift at work tonight) and shit... took me over a month to get through Bioshock 2. If I had the time for XBL and the like then yeah I'd make sure I got a big ass hard drive. I was making due with a 68 MEG memory card the wifey got me when she surprised me with the 360 two years ago (back when HDDs cost a fortune). So the worst I gotta deal with is a life lesson on hard drive advertising and the lost "opportunity cost" of not doing things differently with the gift card I got.

It does add up.
I totally forgot you could do this.
I was under the impression that you could only do that for certain games and then could only d/l bits and pieces of the game to improve on load times/etc... not cut the disc out in its entirety. In the handful of games I've played I've never seen a "download game to HD" feature. I also don't recall seeing it on the XBox dashboard.

Insert disc, return to the dashboard, press Y.
You're wrong.
You can install the entirety of any 360 game onto the hard drive. Once installed, you will still need the disc in the drive for authentication purposes, but the game will play off the hard drive. You have to update the dashboard, though. If you're still stuck on the pre-avatar dashboard, then you won't be able to do it.
Not any game. There are exceptions. Crackdown for one.
