    Question about games installing when xbox is off.


    I bought wolfenstein last night and started installing it, then at some point I paused and shut off the console (I have mine on energy saving mode). Then I started it up today the game was installed, so I was wondering if the console keeps downloading when
    shut off, or if it didn't shut down until finished? What I find strange is that I paused the install so don't really understand what happened.

    :)

    Question about game installing

    I tried installing a game back in the day but my xbox still seemed to access the CD from time to time. I guess it speeds up the loading of a game marginally too no? Might give it another go, although if it works it'll force my hand into buying a bigger HDD.

    Question about games installing when xbox is off.

    Hi

    In energy saving mode the console will not continue to download games or any updates whilst switched off. When the console is set to instant on mode it is possible to change the settings so the console downloads games and updates
    whilst switched off.

    Weirdly enough you still have to swap them even if they are installed. I did that with mass effect 2 and la noire so it should be the same with Rage. :)

    Question about game installing

    Yup, it will spin a little bit like Denaz mentions..But yeah it does speed up loading times and makes the 360 quieter..It's probably overal better for the 360 as well. I say it's well worth installing games onto the hard drive for sure.

    Question about game installing

    Yeah still swap out like Pinbot says...However,I'd still install them to the HD because it makes things so quiet and things load quicker and such :D
