DVD burner question(must have???)
 

Hi is a DVD burner a must in order to play backups?

no, just needed to burn them.

Also, some games can be ripped and downsized to fit on a cd-rw. Bad thing is that you lose most of your sound and movie files and it takes 3 times longer to load.

So u can save the games on your comp and play them on your XBox? If so then why would you ever need to burn them?

You can save them on your xbox HDD and play them. It only has an 8gb drive and you should only use up 6gb. Can't with the pc HDD though
