Which is better?

Should one download a game onto your xbox harddrive, or just continue to play it off of the disc?
Just curious.

I think slandering blacks is better.
That is not a permissible answer to my either/or question.

Depends on what hard drive you have. I have a 250GB hard drive for my xbox so I just download shit left and right, but I still haven't downloaded any xbox disc games, since those seem to take up like 4-5GB each.
I recommend just playing it off the disc.
I have a...uh...4 gb xbox slim.

If your talking about emulators/rom do that if your poor or have no way of getting the game or if you want to upload tas videos. It would kill you to buy a few games.
I always buy my games - I'm talking about downloading the game from the disc onto my xbox harddrive.

i found downloading extremely useless. i only downloaded left 4 dead games because i played them so much they started to glitch. was smooth when i played from harddrive.
Did you play L4D on multiplayer (do they have that?) or just the local, campaign portion of the game?

Oh, did you mean installing a current game you have that is on a disc or downloading a game from Xbox Live?
Installing a game from a disc - it gives you the option to either run a game from the disc or simply install it, and run it from your xbox harddrive.

Download, once you download it once you can download it again and again for free. It will always be there but if you sell you games then you won 't have it and need to buy it again, but if it's on a disc, you can sell it and get some money back to buy another game. Still, I like download better
True - but even if you download it, you still need to insert the disc in order to access the file.
I guess it prevents one person from downloading the game, then giving the disc to his friends to download for free.

Personally, I say disc.
Just because?

Depends
Do you want less loading time in game, or more hard drive space?
I mainly play online - does downloading the game impact on multiplayer at all?

you could just play off the disc,it will save you space in your xbox for more interesting stuff
Yeah, but what interesting stuff is there?
Granted, I'm glad I had space for minecraft - but most of my harddrive is filled with "updates" for games :/
