XBOX 360 Question

Hi All
Just got an XBOX 360 and 5 games but ideally would like to copy the games to the hard drive and play them from there. Why you may ask, well thats simple, I don't have to get up and change the disc if I want to play different game. Also, I have read somewhere that accessing the game from the HDD is quicker than from disc
Thanks

you cant do what you ask the legal way but you may be able to do it by chipping the console(this talk may be frowned upon), but doing so will invalidate your warranty if the 360 were to go up the spout/swanny and if you were to go on xbox LIVE then you would get banned, is that really worth it for not getting up to change the game over
personally i wouldnt bother getting it chipped if you could store the games on the hard drive,0 -

Currently you can't BUT come November 19th, there's a system update that gives you a new interface and allows you to copy disc contents to the hard drive but you will still need the disc in the system to play the game however that's pretty much just for authentication reasons and the data is read off the HDD.0 -

but the OP would still need to get up to change the game over,0
