How to Install a Game on Xbox360

If you are tired of viewing the "please wait" or "now loading" message on your screen, Xbox 360 offers a great feature that will enhance your gaming experience. You can download a game directly to the Xbox 360 console's hard drive. This will reduce game loading times and eliminate the noise from a loading game disc.
