Putty Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have the black xbox with the 'touch sensitive buttons'. I guess it's like a 3gb hard drive in it. I got a copy of GTA 5 today and it wants to install 8gb in order to play it. What options do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 USB thumb drive is cheapest/easiest. I can plug a thumb drive in the front and that will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 yup. You'll have to format it. Do that from inside the x-box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 For best results buy a bigger hard drive (I recently bought a 320gb for $50; they're cheap) to put the content on, then use a newer USB 2.0 flash drive (8gb at the very, very least) to copy the game disc onto. Rockstar Games recommended against installing Grand Theft Auto V's game disc to your Xbox 360 hard drive -- it creates performance issues -- but Digital Foundry has discovered a solution. Storing the installation disc's data to your hard drive, and the play disc's content to a USB drive, apparently smooths out any texture pop-in or lag problems. This allows your machine's hard drive to worry about the install disc's data. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/09/17/gta-5-xbox-360-installation-issue-solved-with-usb-drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the play disc #2 requires an install as well, which they suggest install on a usb 2 drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I got it off Amazon (along with a transfer cable). It's a non-Microsoft brand but it hasn't skipped a beat. The smaller-size drives go for $20-$40, but for an extra few bucks I got the biggest one available. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OCXP3W/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S9WJ9A/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm not 100% sure about the install, I don't own the game. I've just been researching it lately because I'm going to pick it up after my current classes are over. I still need to pickup a flash drive, and I heard SanDisk is the best brand for full compatibility. edit: This site says yes, you are correct http://kotaku.com/how-to-install-gta-v-on-xbox-360-without-hurting-perfor-1327503438 install the first disc on your 360 hard drive like you normally would, then install the play disc to a USB thumb drive.

They won't fit the new "S" version that Putty described. Microcentermay have some refurb drives, if you want to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTurbo04 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Did you really just try to has tag something on CR? :jerkit: I did the full install on my Xbox with zero issues what so ever. A few friends have done the flash drive and works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Rockstar themselves said not to install the "play disc" (second disc). So just install that first disc wherever you can fit it then use the second disc normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 32gb thumb drive just a minute ago. Going to install first disc and play from 2nd. Although, guy at store told me to install both on drive and it's great.
