Maybe if there is some way you could edit the Game's ISO file on your computer, and then ftp it to your xbox, that might work?

YOU CAN'T, AND STOP COMPLAINING

Lol my friend bothers me about that alot. That intro is it cache'ing a bunch of large files. If you look in the Farcry dir, there is a bunch of DAT files. Each one is getting loaded into the chache. So there is no way to skip it.

If you've found yourself unable to skip the intro movie on Far Cry Instincts, pounding all the buttons on your controller until your hands are blooded stumps, here's a solution and explanation.

If you set the time and date properly on your Xbox, this problem won't occur.
If you have Xbox Live and allow Far Cry Instincts to download the update released yesterday, this problem won't occur.
However, if you put a different game into your Xbox (but why would you do that?) and later guiltily return to Far Cry Instincts like an unfaithful lover, the intro video will play again in full. The reason for this is that Far Cry Instincts copies a bunch of sound files onto your Xbox while the intro plays. When you put in a different game these sound files are deleted and will need to be copied over again the next time you use Far Cry Instincts.

and YES that works!
