How Do I Download & Install 360 Games?

Microsoft's Xbox 360 does not legally permit games to be pirated onto the console, but there are two ways you can purchase, download and install Xbox 360 games without being hit with legal action from Microsoft. The Xbox 360 can install purchased games onto its hard drive to improve loading time, but the disc must still be in the tray to start the game. Also, for those with Xbox Live, you can purchase Xbox 360 games that are featured on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
