I noticed that if you have the game, it offers an option to download game to harddrive. Can XBOX 360 games be downloaded to the harddrive directly from the disk- then played without the disk?
yes they can be downloaded directly to the hard drive and no you cannot play them without the disk. This is one step at helping people prevent premature failures on their system. by loading the game to the hd there is also a faster access time. So there are benefits, it is not suggested that every game be installed just a few of the games you play the most. Good Luck

No, That only makes the game load faster but dont do it on halo 3 it make it slower.

No. You still need the disk to play the game even if you install it to the hard drive.
Reason is that MS doesn't want people to rent a game, install the game to the hard drive, play the game, all without buying the game.
