Hey, all.
I had a modded 360 a couple of years ago, but ended up selling it. At the time, it wasn't possible to rip games to and run games from the HDD.
After some googling, I have a few questions:
1. If I've read right, you can now rip games to the HDD and play them from the HDD BUT you must have the disc in the DVD drive on the 360. Is this true?
2. If the above is true, must the disc in the DVD drive be an original or can it be a backup disc?
3. Lastly, I saw somethere that you can upgrade the 360 HDD yourself to 120GB or larger now, even internalize it. Is this also true?
I had the PS2 in which you could run games from the HDD and currently have a nice Wii setup where you can do the same. Hoping they've come this far on the 360.
TIA! :D

Thanx!

I have some of my orignal games ripped to ISO's currently. Do I still need a Krylon (or whatever that was) to burn the backup discs or can any dual-layer burner burn them, if I'll be running the ISOs off the HDD anyhow?
The PS2 setup was great because you just needed one disc in the DVD to run ANY game from the HDD that you had on there, but it looks like you need the correct game in the DVD for the 360 version of this hack, correct?
Also, is there a max for the laptop HDD size you can internalize - thought I read 300GB somewhere. . .

At the risk of overstepping the boundries of the 360 forum, are the things we've discussed here (playing from HDD) also possible on the PS3?

It isn't possible. Nobody cares enough for the ps3 to waste their time hacking it :P

Nope. You can play any Xbox 360 game totally from disc, or you can install it in full to the hard drive. On the PS3, some games have forced installs, some have optional installs, and some have no install option at all, but even those that do have a forced/optional install don't install the full game.
