Bunjie actually reccomends against installing Halo3. They did all agree however that now that developers know about the HDD install they can develop for that and eventually the new games will have significantly quicker load times and optimize the new ability to load games.

if this is all true then i think i'm gonna have to invest in a larger hard drive, i'm thinking of buying an elite soon anyway because my red ring warranty runs out in april and i don't trust my 4th xbox to be any more reliable than the previous 3. i think game installs are a great idea and will probably push the limit even further for gaming.
