Just a few things:

1. Get some damn games. You haven't played anything yet on your 360 apparently.

2. Get the 120GB HDD. With all the Rock Band and Guitar Hero ish, not to mention Live Marketplace awesomeness out there, you'll really need it.

3. Ripping games to the HDD makes only a slight difference in load times thus far, according to gamespot. Also, you still need the disc to run your shit, so no stocking up on gamefly rentals.

It's not about the load times, it's more about taking a lot of stress off of the DVD Drive which also reduces the noise that the 360 makes.

I've only connected to Live twice: once to make my account and once to download the update that lets me play Shenmue II. I'm just waiting for a good deal on a wireless adapter and also the 120GB HDD.

And KoOS is right, one of the bigger drawing points of the game ripping is to reduce the noise. I watched a video they did on IGN where they tested the console before and after the update, and the noise levels were reduced pretty significantly.
