One of the not-so-cosmetic changes in the fall update will be the ability to let you play your games directly from the hard disk. The new feature will let users install all of the game content directly onto the hard drive to improve game load times. Microsoft reports that it has seen a 30 percent improvement in load times in internal testing. As an interesting data point, Microsoft went out of its way to tell a group of reporters that the full Devil May Cry 4 hard disk installation took roughly 10 minutes on the Xbox 360. The installation took twice as long when we conducted our own installation tests on the PlayStation 3. Another side benefit of having games installed on the hard disk is reduced noise, since the optical disc no longer needs to spin up. However, you will still need to have the game disc in your optical drive while you're playing it, presumably as a piracy check.

I'm going to so use this on Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Mass Effect, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, Banjo and pretty much any other game of interest.

Was the 10 minute install of DMC4 part mentioned?

Oh and because I don't want to make a new thread, Microsoft will be adding graphical representations for achievements. Like Sony's trophies for home?

Xbox 360 achievements will be medals.

This is very nice indeed to have as an option. Avoiding disc noise is an Excellent bonus.
