well if you playing the digital version from the marketplace you will not need the disc but if you are playing a version of the game saved to the hard drive from the disc, you will need the disc in there if playing that version of the game, but the marketplace
one a disc is not needed.

If there is a disc available you can always install and play from the disc. You cannot "download" the game from the disc and play without it; you'll still need to insert the disc so that the system knows that you own / possess the game.

^ Az is correct, the only time the disc is active is when its installing, after that it plays from the HDD no option to play from disc.

Yes i am sure, I INSTALLED the game to the HARD DRIVE, But when i go to play the game it still reads it from the disc and not from my HARD DRIVE. The disc drive is reading the GAME DISC normally from the disc drive, But it should be reading it from my hard
drive because i have it installed to my HDD. But it dose not, It still reads it from the disc drive. And i played it for like an hour lastnight and and it read it from the disc the whole time. And not from my HDD.
