Discover The Secret To Finding Xbox 360 Downloads That Work!

By Greg McNaughton on June 20, 2009

I’m always impressed with how the Xbox 360 continues to be such a powerful game system even after so many “new and improved” systems have been released after it. There’s no question the Xbox has earned it spot at the top of the video game industry by constantly staying a step or two ahead of the competition. Today I wanted to show you how to use Xbox 360 game downloads for your system.

It seems to be a common question that we receive these days – ‘How do I download Xbox 360 games?’ We thought it would be a good idea to cover the different options you have so you can start downloading games for your Xbox 360 right away.

Option #1 – XBOX 360 Game Downloads

This is usually the first option people try although it rarely works out for them. There are websites that claim to offer “free xbox 360 downloads” and ask you to install their software in order to start downloading games and movies. It sounds great, but you need to know a couple of things before you rush off to use these websites.

Recently, a number of these websites have been shut down because they were spreading both viruses and spyware. You can’t ever be sure that what you are downloading is actually a legitimate game file. These websites are not monitored by anyone and get loaded with infected files that can cause damage to your computer.

The second complaint we have is that the download speeds are incredibly slow. These websites don’t invest any money in quality web hosting or database maintenance, so the downloads are extremely sluggish. You can literally wait over a day for just one game to finish.

To make things worse, you will find that a large percentage of files from these websites don’t even work. There are a lot of games that are “corrupt” and will never work on your xbox. It’s a big hassle waiting so long for something to finish downloading only to find out it doesn’t even work.

For the most part we recommend staying away from these sites. They put your computer at risk and can waste a good chunk of your time.

Option #2 – XBOX 360 Downloads

This next option lets you download Xbox 360 games without having to worry about viruses, slow download speeds or download files that don’t work.

Because Xbox 360 downloads have become so popular, there are now websites that are run specifically for people looking to download games, movies and music for their system. These websites offer memberships that let you login and download any game you want by using their customized program. The cost is about $50 and you will only be charged this once for a lifetime membership (some will charge a monthly fee – stay away from these).

A membership costs less than the price of most games and lets you download as many xbox 360 games as you want. The selection of games and movies is huge. There are new releases along with games that you may not find any longer in the stores.

The businesses that operate these websites spend a good amount of money to make sure that the download speeds are fast and that the selection stays up to date. Since they are in the business to make money, they make sure their customers stay happy.

If you want to try a free trial at a couple of xbox 360 download websites, there’s a link at the bottom of the article. You will need about 5-10 minutes to register and the software you need to make the games work on your xbox is included.

There has been a steady increase in the number of people using xbox 360 downloads and I can only imagine that this number will continue to grow as more people become aware of this type of service. It’s definately a lot cheaper than buying new games at the store.

When you get in the habit of using xbox 360 downloads it’s easy to find yourself with a huge library of games and movies to choose from. It’s a much cheaper and easier way to find xbox games whenever you feel like it. One little warning though – it’s easy to become addicted! All the best!
