[QUOTE="Redrobes, post: 4648463, member: 40793"] I would agree but Bungie reckons that their Halo3 loads slower when saved to HDD and recommends not to do it ! Their comment is that the game takes stuff from both HDD and disk at the same time. I think the current level of the game was taken from the disk and saved it to the HDD in a temp area, now it has to read the HDD and move a copy to the temp area before playing so its doing twice the HDD work but if you ask me the significant noise reduction and feeling that your box is not wearing itself or the disk out is definitely worth the effort of loading the game to the HDD. I have an Elite so maybe the release 360 was much louder I dont know - I suspect so after reading these posts. All I can say is that on my box its either a low issue or a non issue depending on whether the games been saved. Argue over whether the box has better games, interface or reliability maybe but the noise on an Elite version is no biggie. [/QUOTE]
