How to Save Xbox 360 Games to the Console

Installing a game to the Xbox 360&'s console allows you to load and play your game from the hard drive as opposed to directly from the disc. Benefits from saving a game directly to the hard drive include faster loading times and quieter console noise. Any Xbox 360 game can be saved to the hard drive provided suitable space is available. Full retail games usually require between 4 and 8GB of space.
