Is it possible and legal to burn DVD-games with the Xbox 360 to have self as a save-original-copy?

Question

Can you burn an own copy of games for the xbox 360 console to have for yourself to save your original disk like with os and office dvds?

No, it is not legal in any way, shape, or form – BBlake Jan 13 '10 at 16:06 — BBlake, Jan 13 '10 at 16:06
That is highly dependent on where you live. – bobince Jan 13 '10 at 19:42 — bobince, Jan 13 '10 at 19:42

They won't play unless your console is "modded", which is a big no-no (voids the warranty, and I think MS recently kicked out modded consoles from XBox Live.)

No and yes.

First the No - You can't do this as the disks are not just normal DVDs, they have some sort of security/DRM built in that can detect if it is an original disk or not.

Now the yes - It is possible to mod your console to ignore if the disk is copied and this should work - however, I would not recommend this at all.

Ok, but how does that security/DRM stuff work? – Chris_45 Jan 13 '10 at 13:38
