So I've heard that I should install Skyrim on the 360 to obtain higher resolution or something, also read somewhere that it would shorten loading time overall. This sounds good and all except for one problem.. How do I install games on my Xbox? Haven't had it for a very long time so I have no clue how to install a game to the harddrive, anyone kind enough to explain it to me? =)

actually its the opposite. Installing the game to your HDD will actually give you lower res textures. its a Glitch/Bug that is going on for the 360 version of the game.

That's false information, you actually get lower resolution textures...

Whenever you put in the disc, press Y on the game launcher to access options, then it'll give you the option to install.

Go to the game and push Y in the dashboard. If you have enough space, you can mount the data to your hard drive so the disc doesn't need to run.
I have 15 games on mine. Pretty much the only reason I see the point in 250 Gb harddrive.

Ugh, so if I opt to install to HDD then I will be getting lower res as a result? >:/
If that's the case then my XBox is going to sound like a jet engine for the next couple of months straight..

That's a bug, it'll most likely be fixed on Day 1 or soon after, so don't worry.

until they fix the issue with a patch anyways

For real? Maybe it's somethin they'll fix in the release-day patch with some luck.

Thx for all the quick answers, u guys rock!
