How to Copy Xbox 360 Games - Tutorial

In this article I will teach you how to copy Xbox 360 games, so that you can protect your investment in case your original copy is damaged.

Did you know that the fair use clauses in Section 117 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 allow us to make one backup of any software we own for archiving purposes? So learn how to copy Xbox 360 games and protect your investment!

First off you are going to need a DVD burner, many computers have these already. If your computer does not have a DVD burner then you will need to purchase and install one. Xbox 360 games are simply to large to copy to CD-R disks, so using a DVD-R is a must.

You will need to choose your type of DVD-R. You want to pick a a high quality disk to copy your games to. I recommend either "Ricoh" or "Verbatim", these 2 brands have a reputation for producing the highest quality of disks, using these disks you shouldn't have any problems with skipping or read errors.

Lastly you will need game copying software. Until pretty recently there were different programs to read the disk, to rip it, to encode it, to burn it and to match up the proper encryption. Now there is a program that is a simple "plug and play", put your Xbox 360 game in your DVD drive, let the program copy it, when prompted put your DVD-R in, let it burn and your done! The program that does this is called Easy Backup Wizard.
