Here's How To Burn XBOX Games Right From Home

By Grant Dougan

Going by the number of questions we?ve seen coming in from our readers, there is a lot of interest in copying Xbox games. We all make copies of music CDs all the time ? but is it possible to copy Xbox game discs the same way? If this can be done, how do you go about it?

We?re going to tell you how to do this easily so that you can start copying Xbox games. There is one thing that we need to tell you beforehand though.

We do not, repeat, do not encourage anyone to nor do we endorse the illegal copying of Xbox games which you do not already own. The information we?re going to give you is meant to help you make backup copies of your own games. This is legal and is in fact a very good idea, since it will make sure that you still have a copy of your games in case a disc gets damaged.

So let?s get started! It?s simple ? there?s not going to be any complicated instructions or jargon here; copying Xbox games is an incredibly easy thing to do.

You might wonder why it is that you can?t use your CD burning and copying program to make backup copies of your Xbox games.

The short answer is that copying Xbox games takes some technologies which your existing CD burning program doesn?t have.

Modern video game discs (including Xbox games) are copy protected; so unless you have the right program installed, your computer will be unable to read the disc. If you can?t read the data on the disc, you aren?t going to be able to make a copy of it.

Thankfully, software has been developed to get around this encryption and make copies of video game discs. Once you?ve installed the software, you?ll be able to read those discs ? so you can start copying Xbox games.

After you have this software downloaded and installed on your computer, making copies is child?s play. All you have to do is to place the game disc in your CD drive, let your computer read the disc and make a disc image on your hard drive. Then you simply put in a blank DVD-R and your computer will burn the game to your disc.

Sound simple? It is! It?s so easy that anyone can do it.

Remember that you don?t need to pay a lot of money for these programs. In fact, the best ones around are between $30-$40, but some companies will charge over $100! While you can pay as much as you want, you won?t get better software just because you pay more.

These programs allow you to start copying Xbox games. It?s simple, inexpensive and will let you have backup copies of your entire game library.
