Ripping Xbox 360 Games – What Is It And How Do You Do It?

Posted by BurnGames on April 22nd, 2010

Ripping Xbox 360 Games often sounds like something that is very complex that only those gaming or computer guru’s might actually know how to do. The process of ripping your game to your computer hard drive is actually involved in the process of creating a backup of your Xbox 360 games. Let’s take a closer look how the process actually works and what software might be the best for you to burn Xbox games.

Ripping Xbox games is nothing more than taking the contents of a CD/DVD from the disc and putting it into file format exactly the way it was copied onto the disc. This process usually takes a bit of time and can take up a good bit of hard drive space. As the speeds of CD/DVD drives get faster, the less time it takes to actually rip a game onto your machine.

Every game manufactured comes with copyright protection built into it to prevent pirating of games. We do not condone any sort of game pirating as well. However, you are allowed by law to make a backup of all of your Xbox games as well as any other gaming console you might have. Because of this copyright protection, you needs game copying software that is designed to properly break and decode this protection in order for you to be able to properly rip Xbox 360 games and then make a backup CD/DVD of it. Even myself is guilty of wasting hours upon hours of trying to find software that will do it for free. In the end, you end up wasting a ton of time and a good chunk of change on wasted CD/DVD’s.

With the right game copying software, ripping Xbox 360 games is quite easy and can be done in about 30 to 40 minutes per game. All you need is a computer that has a CD/DVD burner. If your computer is a year or two old, you should have the right hardware for the job. As for what CD/DVD’s to use? Well, I use Verbatim+R DL DVD’s when making backup copies of my games. When I use one of these two pieces of game copying software plus the Verbatim DVD’s, ripping Xbox 360 games and then burning them is done at a very high success rate!

How To Burn Xbox Games With A DVD Burner – A Simple Guide To Help You

Posted by BurnGames on April 11th, 2010

Gaming is stepping up to a new level these days. For example, the release of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 garnered around $550 million world-wide in the first 5 days after its release. This shows that gaming is a huge industry and should be taken seriously. Learning how to burn xbox games with a DVD burner is something every gamer should learn how to do.

The shelf life of a DVD can be pretty long if taken care of properly. However, there are only a small percentage of us who actually do take proper care of the games we purchase. It only takes one drop of a disc or the finest scratch that is barely visible to ruin a game. There is nothing worse than shelling out the initial 60 bucks for a game and then 2 months later having to pay out another 60 dollars because you were careless and your game got ruined in some way.

So How Do You Protect Yourself From Games Becoming Un-Playable?

It is a really smart idea for you as a gamer to make a backup copy of every game you buy. Why? Because making an exact 1:1 copy of your original game allows you to play the copy you made and put the original in a safe place. If your backup copy gets ruined, no big deal. Just break out the original disc and make another copy. You will be saving yourself some pretty major cash over a period of time.

Learning how to burn Xbox games with a DVD burner is not hard at all. I can sum it up in about 5 simple steps:

Have a computer with free hard drive space and a DVD burner
Download a reputable piece of Game Copying Software (you need this to break the protection that is programmed into every game)
Install the software on your computer
Insert the original game into your DVD drive
Start the game burning software and let it walk you through creating your backup copy

That is really about all their is to it. On average, it will take around 30 minutes to burn an Xbox 360 game.

Easily Master Copying Xbox 360 Games With These Super Simple Tips

Posted by BurnGames on March 29th, 2010

The economy has been going through a real downturn over the past year and we are all feeling the effects of it. Unfortunately, this has not brought down the cost of a new Xbox or PS3 game. Copying Xbox 360 games can act as a really good insurance policy on these expensive games we go out and buy.

Most people don’t ever think about backing up their Xbox games until they ruin their first disc and have to go out and drop another 50 or 60 dollars to replace the original game they purchased. One thing you can be sure of is that it doesn’t take much to ruin an Xbox game. Something as simple as dropping it or leaving it lay out for dust to collect on it. Either one of these could lead to it being un-readable by your console.

In order for you to begin copying Xbox 360 games, you will need to get yourself a good piece of software that is made for this task. The reason you need specific software for this is because each disk has protection built into it to prevent or stop people from pirating the games. However, you are allowed to make a copy of the games that you own.

The real benefit of copying Xbox 360 games is that you can keep your original disc in it’s case so that it does not get ruined. The backup copy you made will function just as the original. You will not see any difference in sound quality, graphics or any of the menus.

The software I recommend for copying Xbox 360 games is called Game Copy Wizard. It is by far at the top of the list when it comes to game copying software. You can purchase it for a small price and download it directly for installation. It is super simple to install and use.

How To Backup Xbox Game – An Amazingly Easy Technique That Anyone Can Use

Posted by BurnGames on March 22nd, 2010

Having an Xbox 360 game console is a great way to pass the time and have some great fun while doing it. Gaming as a hobby can be quite expensive. By the time you get the console, controllers and games, your wallet is at least $500 dollars lighter. Knowing how to backup Xbox games is something you should be doing as soon as you buy a new game. All it takes is one little scratch and your game can be unreadable by your console.

There is a ton of info on the net about how to backup Xbox games, but in my eyes, there is only 2 pieces of software that actually work. If you search long enough, you may be able to find some piece of free software to download that will work once out of every 10 times. In the meantime, let’s not forget how much money you spent wasting DVDs. If your serious about backing up your Xbox games, then I would recommend using either Game Copy Wizard, or Game Copy Monster. You will pay a small fee for them, but will end up saving a huge amount of money and time in the end.

Game Copy Wizard and Game Copy Monster are programmed specifically to backup Xbox games. On every game you purchase, there is a ‘lock’ on that game so it cannot be copied freely. This is to prevent pirating. However, as the owner of that game, you are permitted to make a backup copy of your Xbox games.

These two pieces of game copying software are designed to break those ‘locks’ and allow for flawless burning of your Xbox games. You will first download the software and then install it on a computer that has a DVD/CD burner. After you install the program, you will then put your original Xbox game into the DVD/CD drive and copy it using the software you just installed. After it is done copying, it will prompt you to put in a blank DVD/CD so that it can proceed at creating a backup of your Xbox game. That’s all there is to it!

Learning how to backup xbox game is not a hard thing to do if you have the right tools to do it.
