Got the 120GB and will probably rip some but not all of my games. Really depends on how much of a toll the install will take on the HD, though it shouldn't be too bad.

How big is your HDD: Are you going to rip games?

At first glance, I thought your title was a sexual pun lol.
I've got the 120GB Elite hard drive.
Probably won't be ripping many games to it though.
Maybe just a few that have horrendous load times.
But for the most part, I think it's a little pointless. A lot of games, the load times are so short that it doesn't justify the hard drive space being used to rip them, since you still need the disk in the drive to play it. I'd rather rip all my music CDs and all my friend's music CDs to my hard drive. To me that's a better use of space.

I have my 360 very close to my TV and often have to play the games with reduced volume since I live in an apartment setup and also usually play games while most are asleep. Anything to reduce the chainsaw noise of the system is appreciated. I only have a 20GB hard drive, but really I usually just play one or two games at a time and installing the thing while I go make a sandwich isn't going to be a huge deal.
I think dual-layered DVDs are 8.7 GB each, and at any given time my HDD has about 10-11GB free, so I guess that means I'm going to be doing it one-at-a-time or I buy a 120GB hard drive, which is ridiculously expensive. No thanks. I'll just let my games install.

It's a 20 gigger, but I have, what, 5-8 gigs left? My PS3 is 40 gigs, and I filled it up fast thanks to installs. As a result, I'm buying something in the 100-250 gig range replacement HDD (they're 2.5 inch laptop hard drvies, btw). The 360 is my least favorite platform that I own, so couple that with Microsoft's dumbass pricing for the 360 hard drives I'm unlikely to rip damn near anything.
But given enough hard drive space at a reasonable price I'd rip everything I own. Loading screens are soooo 2007.

I have a 120GB Elite system. I would be ripping games but not all of them. Many games in my library don't have online play and so I play them for two to three days and finish the game and that is it. I might go back to them if i really enjoyed the game but mostly they just sit there in my shelf collecting dust. Games I will be ripping are those that I play online everyday. Like Halo 3, COD 4, Bad Company, etc.
