A Basic Question About X box Games

[Spacelordmf]

HI !

I normally only play PC Games but a friend of mine is trying to
convince me that X Box games is the future of games so I need
to ask you guys a question. Please do NOT give me alot of
stick for this thread. A simple yes or no will do nicely :

I have a new DELL PC with an awful lot of HARD disc space
so I need to know if I buy an X Box is it possible at all to
make backup copies of those games and install them onto
my PC and play them from the pc NOT USING THE X BOX itself ?

As you gather from this question I haven't even bought the
Box yet so there is no need to lecture me on X BOX since
I have never played one yet...

Thanks in advance
