Installing games is definitely one of the more intriguing features of the New Xbox Experience. We've tested it. So has Eurogamer. When it comes right down to it, the performance increase (if any) varies wildly on a game by game basis. If only there was some central source we could check to see how well a game runs after it's installed. If only there were some place where such information was arranged in an intuitive manner, alphabetically perhaps. Wait a minute! BingeGamer already put together a chart and it lists 360 games in alphabetical order! The chart also lists how big a footprint each game will leave on your HDD (Lost Odyssey is 23.2 gigs, yikes).
Not surprisingly, there are still plenty of games that haven't been tested, so be sure to drop a comment at BingeGamer if you have some data about a game that isn't listed yet. Big Bumpin', sadly, isn't supported, so don't bother with that one.

Ahhh, I want a new HDD, but I could buy a new 360 pro + 2 games for the price of two 120GB HDD and still get some money over. Because of that I don't feel to buy it.

You buy the cheapest edition of xbox, you end up paying more later on....
Buy an elite : get a bit longer without spending more....
Always good to go for the best 360 you can get, cos later on you will end up paying alot more...

If it eliminates my too frequent "Disc read errors" and the sound of a 737 taking off in my living room whenever the DVD spools up, then it might well be worth it.

If I had a 500 GB HD and I didn't have to leave the disk in the drive this might be worth it but as it is now I'm not wasting time or space on my HD for this shit.
