My question is "Can you rip a game, play it, beat it, uninstall it(delete it from the drive) and still retain your save game so you don't lose your progress"  I would be curious to do this if I knew I wouldn't lose progress if I decided to install a different game

you will have to save the saves, these are usually small amounts about 2MB each, you will have to put the CD in to play the disk as a proof of purchase, its just a way to load things up a bit faster (similar to the pc)

I'd guess that saves would stay where they are now so you'd keep your saves if you deleted the ripped game from your HDD

Yeah just as xplodedd said, your save file will a different file and have nothing to do with the install. For games i play alot this might be a useful option.

My question is What if I've broke the CD?

I got DMC4, beat it on Normal then broke the CD and now it doesn't work =(
Fingers crossed I can download it, I doubt it though.

How big are games, anyway? I thought they'd be bigger than 20GB.

I don't think they are over 20GB,  Xbox360 discs can only hold 8GB or somewhere around that amount.

If you broke the disk then you can't play it as they do a disk check (you need the cd in the tray) to play the game.
