I read in a few posts that you would be able to rip a game to disk with the new update. Does this mean that you have to purchase the game online or can you rip the actual disk to the hdd? I cant seem to find a way to do it.

you rip the game yourself.

go to my xbox, then game library. you'll see the game in the list. choose it, and it'll have the option to install to the hard drive.

you still need the game in the drive, in order to run the game from the hard drive.

ok sweet! now my next question...

how do i get around the fact that my hard drive is only 20gb. is there any way to "mod" a external hard drive so i can get more disc space.

it's microsoft's way to verify you own the game. most people would just rent games and rip them to their hard drive.

externals can't be used to store games. only way to get more space is to buy the 120gig, or do a 120gig swap.


the swap is rather extensive to do, and can only be done with a certain western digital hard drive: the WD1200BEVS. it is the cheaper route; even world renowned pc world has a guide.

a little bit faster load times, less stress on the console so less overheating.

not to mention, way more quieter, and preserves the game disc during extreme gaming hours.

people that have talismoon whisper fans will get near silence, and a better cooled system.


think about it; if there was no verification, everyone could just rent the game, rip it, and return it.

JW has anyone tried to rip the game to the hard drive then use a backup to vertify the game.
