How Can I Download XBOX 360 Games? Here's The Easy Way!

By Tommy Paxton

Below, you'll find a brief article that will show you how you can download Xbox 360 games as an Xbox 360 owner to use on your Xbox.

It's a very common question that we receive by email - 'How do I download Xbox 360 games?' Let's go over the different options you have so you know how to download games for your Xbox 360 right away.

Option #1 - XBOX 360 Downloads

This is usually the first option people try although it rarely works out for them. There are websites that claim to offer "free xbox 360 downloads" and ask you to install their software in order to start downloading games and movies. It sounds great, but you need to know a couple of things before you rush off to use these websites.

First of all, and perhaps most importantly, these websites often spread viruses and spyware. This makes these games not "free" after all. You'll get a download, yes, but you also get a lot of problems with your computer as well. These files are often not monitored by anyone, which puts you at greater risk. It's not worth it for a "free" game. Better not to take the risk.

The second thing you need to know is that download speeds are often so slow on these sites that it takes forever to get your download. In many cases, it can take days for a download to finish, which isn't worth it.

Even worse, many of the files are "corrupt", which means that they don't actually work. It's a big pain in the 'you know what' to wait over a day for a game to finish downloading only to find out it doesn't even work.

There's a better way, and one that is of no risk to you or your computer.

Option two: Xbox 360 game downloads

This second option is a lot better than the first. It lets you download just about any game you want and you don't have to worry about the problems that you find in the first option we described.

Xbox 360 downloads have been in hot demand for a long time, and a few businesspeople smartly decided that this trend was worth capitalizing on. So, they started specialized Xbox 360 download websites. These websites let you register as a member, and then you can download games, music, movies and more right from your computer once you have done so. These sites cost you about $50 for a lifetime membership, but you'll be billed only once for downloads that are unlimited. After this, you can log into the website whenever you want to download a new game, movie, etc.

The membership costs less than the price of most games and lets you download as many games as you want, so it's a great option if you want to try out new games without spending a lot of money first.

These websites also have an impressive selection of games and movies. You can find just about anything you might be looking for on these websites, because their libraries are so large. Not only will you get new releases, but you'll also get older games that you might not be able to find anymore in any other venue.

Obviously the companies that put together these xbox 360 download websites are hoping to make a profit, so they do what it takes to keep their customers happy. They invest money in the software to make sure the downloads are fast, the games are always up to date and that every single game you download will actually work on your system.

At the bottom of this article, we include a link that will take you to a free trial so that you can go to a couple of the most popular Xbox 360 download websites. It'll take about 5 to 10 minutes to set up, and all the software you'll need to use the games is included.

Considering how easy and less expensive downloading xbox 360 games is, it's surprising that not more people are members. In reality many people just aren't aware that this is an option.

When you begin to use Xbox 360 downloads, you'll likely find yourself with your own large library of games and movies to choose from. It's a much easier and cheaper way to find Xbox games whenever you want to. One little warning is that it's very easy to become addicted, but perhaps that's not a bad thing. Have fun!
