Title: Is It Possible To Play An Xbox 360 Game From An External Hard Drive?
Post by: cypher79 on October 30, 2007, 03:28:00 PM
Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to put an xbox 360 game on to an external hard drive, then plug that hd in to the 360 and play the game straight off it, without having to burn the game to disk?

thanks

Nope  blink.gif

All backups need to be burned to a DL disk to play in the 360.

The 360 won't allow you to play games off of an external HDD.  If you figure out a way, let the world know.  :-)

I doubt that it is impossible.
so far, no one as managed to do this though, and its highly likely no one ever will.

way to resurrect a 1 year old post of a stupid question, with an even stupider answer 1 years later.
