if you guys read earlier in a post it says you burn it to your harddrive but the DISC has to be in the harddrive for you to be able to play it, i'm pretty sure i read that somewhere before which made no sense to me

basically what it does is allows you to not use your drive as much, it will recognize it but not spin which won't burn out your harddrive as fast, sorry about the double post

Right, you need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game. It simply makes load times faster because a DVD can only spin at 52x, or 7800kb/sec. Being read from the 360's SATA hard drive, data can be read off of the drive at up to 3GB/sec, much faster.

chances are that it won't work on games that are already out, seeing as the game would have to be programed to copy itself onto the harddrive
the ps3 has this feature and very few games use it, Devil May Cry 4 being the only one I can think of, not to mention it takes DMC4 four hours to copy to the hard drive, so it makes me wonder if it's really worth it

group chat would be awesome. if we did a halo 3 MM boosting night we could group chat and be like "ok well (inser t name here) you and (insert one/more name/s here) stand right there so i can get (insert achievements here)
or like for whatever game you cant talk to people in :\
