Copying Xbox 360 Games - My Experience With Xbox 360 Backup Software After 1 Month
About a month ago I submitted an article about my research and subsequent success locating some good quality software to allow me to make exact backup copies of Xbox 360 games discs.
I have and Xbox 360 console and my children have a Nintendo Wii.
After a couple of disasters with cracked and scratched games discs, I decided that it was important to create Xbox 360 games copies to preserve the original discs in good condition.
I had tried copying Nintendo Wii games straight on the computer using the standard PC DVD burning software.
Unfortunately it couldn't override the manufacturers' protection that is on these discs, so after half a dozen blank DVD's were resigned to the bin, I decided to 'splash out' on something that would really do the job..
...
if I could find such a thing.
Well, I did, and the success to date has been really good.
The software I bought cost under $30 and was available to instantly download after I had made my secure online payment.
It is extremely user friendly even for a relative technophobe like me.
Even my 11 year old son has burnt backup copies of Xbox 360 games, and also his Wii games too.
This article is designed to be a bit of a report on the results I have achieved using this software, and whether I believe it was worth the investment.
Affordability Based on the fact that a new Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii game costs in the region of $40 to $70, the software I bought cost around half the price of a single game.
I have now copied Xbox 360 and Wii games for my family, twenty three games in total, of which the originals are now safely stored in perfect condition.
I feel that the small outlay is excellent value for money.
Usability As mentioned, my 11 year old son can use this software, and it has successfully copied Nintendo Wii games as well as my Xbox ones.
I have also used it to make backup copies of a few PC games I have.
The user interface is extremely intuitive and I cannot fault it.
It claims to be able to copy PlayStation games as well as GameCube and a few other platforms.
Value for Money I am not usually one to make impulsive purchases online, and in this case I did a fair amount of research, looked at user reviews etc before forking out the money.
It was time well spent as I got a great piece of software that does everything it says it will.
