It all depends on the size of your hard drive. An xbox has a either a 10Gig or an 8Gig drive as standard allowing about 4.5Gig - 7 Gig of free space. Games can vary between .4Gig and 5Gig+ in size. Most gamers fit 0-3 games on a 10Gig drive. If you up the size of your hard drive to an 120Gig drive for example you will fit more like 50+ Games.

We have a zero tolerance for piracy. Breeching this topic will result in a immediate ban, as we at xbins respect the development community. Want a game? Go to your local store and purchase it, thereby supporting hardworking developers that make such things as game consoles possible.

No. Just because it is made by Microsoft doesn't mean it has to play PC games. Note: Xbox games will not work on PC's aswell.

Xbox is the next generation in video games systems. It is equipped with the newest and most powerful in graphic and audio hardware, has a hard drive for saving game data, and is designed from its inception to be ready for broadband online gaming. This way Xbox empowers game artists by giving them the technology to fulfill their creative visions as never before, creating games that blur the lines between fantasy and reality.

I'm finished shipping Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and working on a game for the nexy XBOX console that will be announced around 10/05.

Go to our developers section and publisher section to find out who publishes and develops games for the Xbox.

No currently you can not, at least not without swapping the chips over or flicking a switch that came with your mod.

With the link established, insert the disc you wish to copy into the Xbox DVD drive. In your FTP client, open D:\ on the Xbox side and copy all the files within to your PC. To do this, I recommend using DVD2XBOX. This can be found on the AID disc as well as my software section.

The Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the old games - this is done using something called an "emulation profile" which tells the new console how to play your old game - one is needed for each game. The top 100 selling games will have their profiles on the Hard Drive so titles such as Halo 2, Forza, and Project Gotham Racing 2 etc will play fine on the new console. Games outside the top 100 will also be supported as additional profiles will be available to download.

Each region uses 2 separate ways to identify DVDs and games. All North and South American Xboxes use the NTSC format for DVDs and games, and DVDs use another type of format called the region code. If you are staying in the same general region you should be able to play games properly, but DVDs from that region will most likely not work.

Yes, you most certainly can. However, it is not possible to offer compatibility out of the box for all Xbox titles due to hardware conflicts between the two systems.

In order for an Xbox 1 title to be backwards compatible with the Xbox 360, a software patch must be made by Microsoft to allow the hardware to read the game disk. Microsoft offers a list of backwards compatible titles that is constantly being updated.

No and this includes demo discs from the Official Xbox Magazine. Additional info (thanks to Byron Hinson): Here is the official quote I got on it the other day from Microsoft. "The North American box will only play North American games. The regional encoding is set when it passes through certification and in to the authorized replicators.

Microsoft Game Studios is bringing Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, and Project Gotham Racing 3 to Xbox 360 this holiday. Also exclusive to Xbox 360 is Call of Duty 2 from Activision, Inc., and QUAKE 4, which they developed with id Software. You'll also see Dead or Alive 4 from Tecmo and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion from Bethesda Softworks/2K Games, among many others.

The Xbox 360 will use DVD-9, the standard dual-layer DVD used in the Xbox. This is the currently announced format for games, HD-DVD is supported via the HD-DVD Add-on drive (sold seperatly) but this is for High Definition Movies only and not games.

Yes, with Xbox you can create soundtracks from your own CD collection and play the music you want to hear during your favourite games, if they are developed to support this feature.

Xbox games are designed to make use of the Xbox video game system's superior hardware and online gaming capabilities. It is not possible to play these games on a personal computer or any other video game system.

No! However, games are only included in the Normal (2 discs out a time) and above plans and are accessable for members who have been with DVD Direct for more than one continuous month. This is provided at no extra cost! [Return to The Top]

No. The Xbox 360 is at least slightly easier to develop for. The whole PS3 architecture is quite different from anything of the past, so programmers will need some time to get a grasp of the hardware fully. That's not to say that it's too hard to develop games for the PS3, but the Xbox 360 is easier to develop for initially.

Depends upon the game. If it's a DOS game, try DOSEmu (apt-get install dosemu in Xebian to install). Afterwards, you'll likely need to run dosemu not as dosemu, but as xdosemu. If it's a Windows game, Wine (apt-get install wine) may *or may not* run it. Regardless, there is no 3-D support on the XBox, so all games will run at lower resolutions/details (assuming they run at all). Try searching around for a site regarding the particular game you want to run (Half-Life, for instance) for more info.

We do not offer advice on this subject although much success is found when using some of the best commercially available CDR writing software packages.

The install guide suggests that if I still want to play games, I should install linux with dual boot functionality. My understanding of this is that I would then be booting linux from an xbox dash (Avalaunch in my case). If this is the case would I be still be able to play backed-up games through avalaunch? I would have though this to be an obvious yes, but the FAQ says the following:

Even after a successful image backup, the EzBackup application still has to search through all the files on your computer's hard drive when you select to perform a new/modified files backup. This is because there are files that are updated by the operating system, and other background programs, as the computer boots up and while the operating system runs. Even if you have not changed any files manually yourself, there can be changes to these hidden and system files that EzBackup must detect.

Burn Game Station is testing all mods released for the PS2 and so far no solutions have proven to be fully reliable and offer enough functions for us to offer them to Members. New mods and designs have now been finalised for playback of all import games (US/JAP on PAL and vice versa). These mods are currently in the final stages of manufacture and once finished will be tested for quality.

No, you will be banned within 6 hours of sign in or if you sign out. It doesn't matter if you go into matchmaking or play any other games, the countdown starts the second you sign in.

No, PC games cannot be played on the Xbox 360 also burned discs or discs from other video game systems cannot be played either.
