In order for you to successfully burn these games on your Xbox 360, you need to perform an installation process using a mod chip. Alternatively, you can also install or download firmware. This firmware is needed for you to bypass the systems verification process thus allowing you to burn the games.
How to copy games to your PC
There are 10 new songs that come with the initial package of the guitar hero download. Most of these are rock songs from band like My Chemical Romance and Toadies.
Downloading guitar hero songs to your PC is very easy. You will just need an Ethernet cable, mod chip for xBOx to be able to play the downloaded games and a couple of software– one for converting the games to .ISO file and another for burning the games to the DVDs or CD-ROMs.
The first thing that you should do is to connect your xBox to the computer with the use of the Ethernet cable. Once you get hooked with the source, you can now transfer the files and at the same time create backup on your hard drive.
Once you have already downloaded the files, you can now convert it to .ISO files. You need to do this because the computer cannot recognize and open files that are not in .ISO format. You will require any software that can convert files to .ISO. If you do not have one, you can download free programs in the Internet for this.
After converting the files, it is now time to copy and transfer it to the disks. You can use Neros Burning Rom or Alcohol 120 software when transferring files to DVDs or CDs. This set of software is most compatible with the xBox series. This software is also available through the Internet and you can download it anytime, if you havent got this one yet.
Before continuing with the next set of games, you should try check it first with the xBox to make sure that it could read the disc properly. The usual problem encountered is that disc is not compatible with the player so try to look for the best CD or DVD to burn with.
If you are successful with the burning, you can go on with the other games and start enjoying the new guitar hero downloads.

Will The Xbox Have Long Term Staying Power?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you’ve known about the release of the Xbox 360, the mother of all video game systems…well at leats until the Playstation 3 comes out in addition to the new Nintendo box currently code-named “Revolution.” Anyway, by the end of the year, the Xbox 360 will have about 25 or so titles to choose from. And by the end of 2006 there should most likely be at least 100 titles. If you’ve seen the games in action then you know just how powerful this new system is when compared to the original Xbox or any other game console currently available. The games are nothing short of breathtaking. If there were more systems available then impulse buying for this thing would probably be through the roof. And finally you have the backwards compatitbility of the 360 that allows you to play the majority of the original Xbox games.
Now having said all of this, one would think that the life expectancy of the original Xbox is short at best. But is this really the case? Let’s look at a few more details.
At this point the scarcity of the 360 is driving the price at places like Amazon and Ebay through the roof. I’ve seen prices as high as $1500 for some packages. Even if you get one for the retail price, it’s still 3 times higher then the original Xbox, which is now typically in the low hundreds range. But the biggest reason the Xbox will not go away quietly is the same reason the Playstation 2 is still going strong…the games. People who’ve been buying and trading games for years now are not going to see the need to upgrade their system right away. At least not for a while. But even if they do, all one has to do is look at the success of the GameBoy and Playstation 2 and the loyalty of their users. Game developers still make games for these consoles because they still sell like hotcakes. It really is all about the games. Its the main reason you see free Xbox giveaways, and also the reason Microsoft takes a loss with every system they sell…or so they say.
So while the Xbox 360 may be the big boy on the block right now, don’t write off the original Xbox just yet. It’ll be around for a while and the best may be yet to come!
