if u consider what u want to do logically then u might find the answer

Just as well you are trying to emmigrate - i am sure Mr Plod would be interested in 20 cases of copyright theft - especially if you are trying to sell them on.

Personally i would delete the thread and throw your copies away !

There was a thread about this a few months back. The consensus of opinion was that the authorities couldn't give a rat's arse about it - they were more interested in checking your mountain bike for mud. The most popular technique to avoid any interest in them was to distribute the bent copies amongst legitimate stuff -stick 'em in with an audio CD for instance. Just make sure they're not labelled anything obvious like 'WAREZ - OCT05'.

It aint illegal to copy your games.

Is it worth it??? Who would want the worry of a bunch of pirate games in your gear for AQUIS to find? The easiest way to transport the games would be to decrypt them to a hard disk and burn them back to DVD when you arrive. (Not that I have any intention of doing any of that at all because I don't own anything that breaches copywrite or nuffin')

It is quite OK to make 1 back up copy of games that you already own, but not to pop down the boot sale and pick up a bunch of them.

Just as an after thought - the X box already had a 7Gb hard disk installed. This can be changed for a larger 80Gb HDD which would be capable of storing your 20 games very easily. (just means that you can play the games from the HDD drive rather than the DVD) Finding someone to do this for you might be a bit more difficult. (I've never done it nor would ever want to at all, ever)

True but have you got the originals

AQIS wont give two hoots, unless the packaging is made of pine cones or untreated wood. Bring 'em in.

Didn't say I was going to do it (I personally favour ISO images and capacious hard drives), but if I was that was the way I'd do it - it was certainly the preferred method by the folks who'd emigrated with hooky DVDs and software in the past.

Hutch

Ah damn - guess I'm going to have leave my limited edition pine-cased copy of 'Lumberjack Chainsaw Frenzy 3: The Larch' at home!

brilliant!
