No longer do we have to give all of our extra money to our local video game store. The best part about all your xbox games is that you can do this without leaving the comfort of your own home.

The most asked question is where do we download game from. This is simple. There are several sites to download free xbox 360 games from. The only thing you have to do is determine if the site is legal or illegal. With the help of forums like this, hopefully you will learn how to determine between the two kind of sites.

Believe it or not, figuring out wich site is legal and which is illegal is actully pretty simple. Any site that offers all downloads completely free will be illegal. But buyer beware! Understand that you are not only downloading the games. You will be downloading all the ads they put with the download. This means pop-ups and even worse a possible virus that will crash your computers. Why would they do that you ask? Well the pop-ups are so they can sell you something to recoup there money back. Any time you download something on the internet, you have to worry about downloading a virus. Because everything is free, the downloading site will not pay to have all games scanned for viruses. So once again, buyer beware. Also understand that by using an illegal site, you run the risk of breaking the law. By breaking copyright laws, you run the risk of being heavily fined and prosecution.

A legit site will offer a one time small fee. This is an upfront fee you only pay once and after that be able to download as many games,movies,music and/or videos. Typically the cost of this very low one time membership fee is about the same price as buying on

xbox 360 game. Consider it like you would buy one game and then get an unlimited amount of games after that for free. A legit site will offer much more than just games for that small fee. The other benifit with using a legit downloading site is that you will have no risk. Not risk of catching a virus and no risk downloading any kind of spyware. Since there is a very low one time memebership fee, you will not have to worry about any kind of copyright law. So not only will the downloads be safe but they will be 100% legal.

So with this information you will be able to maximize the use of your xbox 369. Start to download free xbox 360 games and start saving a boat load of money.

I have my 360 up in my room, but my computer is downstairs and i want Xbox Live without playing downstairs or using a wireless connection. All Ideas are welcome.

I got a hold of a copy of Forza 3. But the release date isn’t til the 27. If i disconnect from live, and change the date on my xbox to the 27th, then the achievements dates should show Tuesday 27. I know live automatically corrects your clock, but that won’t change the date on the achievement. Right? Is there any other way to get cought?

I want to mod my 360 to play backup games but don’t want to open it. Is there any way I can buy a modded dvd drive or something to attach externally to my xbox?

I want to avoid using the £50 adapter and see if I connect the Xbox 360 to Xbox Live by using a computer or by other means. Please leave detailed answer and very specific details how to complete this action IF POSSIBLE.

I want to get an xbox 360 but I can’t afford to get one with a hard drive. I want to play games like halo 3 and elder scrolls oblivion. Can an xbox 360 play those games without a hard drive?

I know lots of people who have recently had problems with their XBox 360, and it seems from looking around the forums that these are not isolated cases. The official Microsoft line is that the failure rate is about 3%, but most people seem to agree that this statistic is simply miles out . Of course, if your XBox 360 is under guarantee you can just send it back for a repair (of course this doesnt apply if you have modded it!), but that can take 4-6 weeks. In most cases the repairs are actually quite simple, and some dont even involve opening the case. So , how do you fix Xbox 360 problems without specialist knowledge.

Well, the first thing is to resolve is what the issue is. Few people are aware that the XBox 360’s ‘Ring-Of-Light’ not only indicates that there has been a problem , but it also tells you what caused it. Here are some of the common codes

Reading clockwise from the top left:-

Overheating: This is the most common issue seen. Sections 1, and 3 flash red. Usually all you need to do is move your XBox 360 away into a reasonably open space and let it cool down. Check that the vents are unobstructed and you may even consider one of the many cooling products such as CoolerMaster that you can find on the internet. However, if the problem persists you will need to try more exteme measures to fix it.

No Video Cable Detected: All 4 segments are flashing red. This is an easy one, simply check all cables are firmly pushed home.

General Hardware Failure: Sections 1, 3, and 4 blink red. This is the worst fault because you really dont know what is causing it . If you check the link in my resource box however you will be able to download a great guide that will help you here.

Specific Hardware Failure: Section 4 flashes red. The monitor will display an error message that tells you which component has failed. Look at the link in my resource box to find out more details about this.

Now that you know what the most common issues are and how to diagnose them, you are well on your way to fixing your Xbox 360 without any specialist knowledge.

I was wondering if it were possible to play xbox 360 games that I downloaded through my computer. I mean connecting my computer to my xbox 360 through maybe a usb cord and making the xbox 360 act as if it put in the disk of the downloaded file. Thanks in advance.

Can you get banned from XBL when powering your xbox on without the DVD Drive connected?

I have an Xbox 360 and treated myself to a classic original Xbox game (Spiderman 2). Typically, my Xbox Live subscription has just run out and I’m being told I need a media update to play the game. Is there any way of obtaining this update without having to spend £30 again?
