Here's a couple of quick links to some interesting information about installing and playing games from your HDD, courtesy of the NXE due on the 19th November.
First, from Eurogamer is a fairly detailed look at how fast games load and stream from your HDD compared to the DVD.
The methodology for the tests was remarkably straightforward - my workhorse Xbox 360 Elite ran a carefully selected range of ten top games, first from DVD, then from hard disk. Video captures of both gameplay run-throughs allowed us to get frame-accurate loading times (rounded up to the nearest half-second) and the comparison of the selected footage could also be used to judge any differences in game performance.
Second is a video from IGN showing how much quieter you can expect your Xbox 360 to be when streaming from HDD instead of DVD.
