    I have an xbox 360 elite with an external fan on the back (its set horizontally) and it plays halo 3 faster from the hard drive than it does from the disc. Anybody else with the same experience.

    No daniel, Bungie and pretty much everyone admitted thast Halo 3 specifically runs slower from the HDD than on the disc, because of the way they made the game. Its not something a patch can fix either I doubt.

    go play a game that caches stuff on the hard drive... then go back and play halo 3.

    a 5 minute load time is certainly NOT faster

    "Did you actually compare loading times and stuff? A lot of people have actually recorded and compared seconds to load and show that it in fact is slower from the HDD. Bungie also confirmed this....and was reported by Jeff on this site.

    Not saying I don't believe you..just saying."
    I was counting in my head. It was either the same or faster. Plus the frame rate and jaggies were alot less when I was actually playing.
    Dont know if that has anything to do with the hdd but thats how it was.
    And no, I didnt record anything.
