The Xbox 360 video game console is probably one of the best next generation video game consoles there is. The Xbox 360 has advanced graphics and amazing game play features so there’s no wonder why millions of gamer’s world wide own an Xbox 360. The video games for the consoles however are very fragile and often pick up scratches and chips due to over playing and sometimes faulty hardware can also lead to gaming problems.

In the past there hasn’t really been a solution to this problem, however that has all changed thanks to the introduction of software that can copy video games. In this guide I will aim to teach you what to look out for when selecting video game copying software.

Make sure when you are selecting software that it doesn’t contain nasty viruses, I have seen many software for free download but these pieces of software contain harmful viruses to your computer and will damage it. Game backup software is highly advanced technology and I highly doubt you will be able to get it for free anywhere.

Another tip I would give you when choosing the right game copying software is does it offer an easy user interface, because we are not all computer geniuses and sometimes a simple user interface is a lot easier and more effective that a big complex interface which will often get us lost and confused. Copying games shouldn’t be difficult or confusing to anyone so make sure you get a user friendly application that will allow you to easily copy Xbox 360 games.

Firstly there are many articles, books, websites and other sources dedicated to telling you how to play copied Xbox 360 games on your console, however these methods are either too complicated to follow or they are simply outdated methods which are dangerous, slow or expensive. So welcome to the article that will change your gaming life forever.

The method I am going to show you is so simple you will kick yourself for wanting to do it any other way. You could use old methods or you could use expensive methods such as using modulation chips to modify the internal motherboard of your video game console or you could use a method that is not dangerous and takes less than 10 minutes of your precious time to copy and play your games.

If you want to play your copied games then you must use a piece of special software that first off all copies your console games and then via software does a process called flashing to your console. Do not worry this process is simple, you click a button on your personal computer and then the computer does all the hard work.

Without doing the above process you will not be able to play your copied games on your video game console. The above method is by far the safest, easiest and cheapest way I have found to play copied Xbox 360 games. I have tried the other methods such as using modulation chips but I was far more impressed with just using software to copy and play my Xbox 360 console games.

The only problem with this system seems to be the hardware issues; since the console was launched about three years ago it has had more than its fair share of hardware issues.

You can get everything from the 3 red lights, 2 red lights, 1 red light error and not to mention your games freezing up and of course the error that we will be talking about in this article when your 360 will not play your games.

Sometimes when you put your game disc in, it simply will not play!

Other times it will actually open the tray back up and every time you close it will open again.

Whatever type of error you have from the above they are all caused by the same thing – overheating!

A lot of people get the DVD drive not reading games problem and they believe that it is the DVD drive that is broken, however it is actually the sensors on the back of the drive that are overheating.

The console shuts down the drive to prevent further damage that is why it appears that your DVD drive does not work!

To fix it if you need to stop the heat build up getting to the main chips on the motherboard and the DVD drive.

You can do this by sending it in and allowing Microsoft to fix it for you, be prepared for about a four week wait and also you may have to pay to have this error fixed it is normally $140 for DVD drive repair.

The other way that you can fix it is by getting a good video repair guide that will show you how to stop the heat getting to the motherboard.

If you are going to try one of these make sure that you get a guide that has a complete guarantee, a proven track record and also a preview of the actual videos so you can see what you’re getting beforehand.

I hope this article has told you a bit more about the Xbox 360 DVD drive error and how you can get back up and running in the quickest time possible!
