I'm watching you.

I'm pretty sure that you'll need to get a xbox with more memory.

PS - Halo 3 was never meant to be installed to an xbox's hardrive. I'm not sure if it'll have the effects you're hoping for.

Even if the disk becomes unreadable and you have the game installed on your computer, you still won't be able to use it (I have the same problem) The console has to be able to read the disk in order for you to play the game that's loaded onto your console. (Unless of course you buy it off the marketplace for 30 bucks.)

Well if it can't read the disk it can't run the game from the console.

Mine just straight up won't load. Says "Put this disk in an Xbox 360 console to play it" or just stops trying to read it after awhile and gives me the option to open the tray. So I have to sit there and open and close the tray for about 5 minutes before I can actually play it. Once I get in the game it works fine though. As long as I don't back out to dashboard.

As for your problem, I would try going out to get a flash drive and format it for the Xbox 360 as spare memory, then install the game from there. Would probably work out better than taking up every bit of space on your console.
