Too many of us have had to face the problem of paying upwards of 60 bucks for a console game not once but twice when a relatively small scratch, the result of an unintentional accident or even the console itself, has rendered our esteemed disc all but unusable. So much time and cash down the drain. It is more than enough to make even the sanest among us break down and lose it!

The thing with scratches is that we never know when or where they might occur. They are just as likely to be caused by a stray pet, an out of control child, a fully functional console, improper factory packaging or just plain old normal accidents. Furthermore, the size of a scratch on the disc does not necessarily reflect the amount of damage it does.

A dvd can be fully scratched to the naked eye yet still remain in perfect working condition while another may have only the smallest of scratches and be totally unusable. It is impossible to tell, then, if the next accident, be it the first or the last, is the one what will render our precious game useless.

With our complete "Xbox 360 Copy" cheat sheet you can learn to copy your game and avoid having to replace software that have become unplayable.

1. Make sure you legally own any disc you attempt to copy, otherwise don't bother as it is illegal and punishable by law. 2.

Follow the instructions carefully (for example you will need to identify your computer's DVD drive) 4. Make duplicates of the games you want. 5. Play the duplicates and store the factory ones safely!

You don't need to make a purchase more than once. Damaged and non functional games are a thing of the past. With this complete "Xbox 360 Copy" advice, you can make sure your games never suffer from the all too common wear and tear.
