    trying to find a site that has original xbox isos. i know xboxisozone is one but their speeds are brutal and same with their dl limit per day

    i cant seem to find any other site that has downloads for xbox isos. and xbox360iso was gutted by the ban of megaupload (all xbxo isos were either fileserve, filesonic, or megaupload an no one reuploads them)


    so if you know a good site to get them that'd be great. no torrents. those take too long since no one seeds original xbox isos anymore lol

    Seconded

    But if you're so concerned, don't be cheap, just pay the subscription fee for [site removed], then post about game piracy on the forums there, not here.

    We have hard working programmers on this website that are making the games you are pirating. It's a quick trip to banville for talking about pirating their games.

    I wasn't aware people were still making retail original Xbox games. I can understand if he's asking about 360/ps3/wii games, but he's asking about isos for an obsolete system made 10 years ago.

    I do agree that this isn't the site to ask about this kind of stuff.

    Look at something like Beyond Good and Evil, that got a re-release. Happens a lot, and will likely happen more into the future.

    Of course, games with HD re-releases should be purchased. I don't know why anyone would want to play the original version anyway if a HD version exists, unless the company botched it and somehow made it worse. But what about obscure games that were forgotten or other games that will likely never see a re-release?

    Doesn't change that you are still downloading a game that someone worked hard to make, and that it is illegal in most places. And remember too, on most sites, Xbox games are going to be the least popular, so you are essentially linking to sites that promote piracy of new games. Regardless, there are many places on the net to find places to pirate games, if you have to ask, you are doing it wrong heh

    well all the sites are terrible download speeds and its hard to find xbox games. only sites that have it are sites that have bad links and slow speeds

    also no store sells xbox games anymore and only place you can get them are on ebay or craigslist which are resells so me buying those games wont support the developers. they wont be getting any money from it

    It's not going to happen so just give it up buddy. It is still copywrited material and considered warez.

    lack of interest in xbox hurts our community too. (look at the unreleased games we can't raise money to bring out of hiding)

    if we find info to help, we'll contact you.

    Actually buying used games can stimulate interest in sequels, thus helping a developer. Despite it not helping a developer directly (and hurting more nowadays), if a company sees that a title is a cult classic or simply selling well, I'd be willing to bet that they are aware of it.

    The economy hurts the community more than anything. All developer kit sales are down, not just Xbox. It's just how it is. The market was in a better place a few years ago, but let's face it, not many people have income that they can throw away on obscure items. I'd be willing to dump just about anything I own for a price, but I will not be doing any community dumps for the near future, simply because the people and money isn't there right now.

    I mean I can understand piracy from a collector stand point for example You have sealed version of shining force 3 And lets just say you're a totally sane person and decided yah I'm not opening it, so you play a burnt version.

    Obvious to say you don't know how to use Google.
    I know many sites that host them, but of course I'm not going to share the site here and it's not fair for developers, and which I only download games that I own...
    XBOX games are dirt cheap at the moment, and you have PayPal so instead of bitching about slow download speeds from sites that host XBOX ISOs you're better off buying the real game, case and all.

    1) XBox isos aren't hard to get.
    2) XBox games are pretty cheap
    3) Do we look like the concierge?

    IIRC pawn shop hunting in like 2010 or so was an Xbox goldmine. Game quantity and quality that is. Surely not getting rich, with the market flood.

    I picked up 3 quality, complete titles for 4$ each the other day, and that is from a retro game store. Pawn shops will be even cheaper.

    There isn't a single pawn shop in the county I live in here in California. Only been to two my whole life though I'm sure there are a number in San Francisco that I've been by but haven't looked at.

    My favored thrift shop has XBox games on occasion but they're smart and tend to package them as a 2 pack: Halo/Garbage, Halo 2/Garbage, JSRF/Garbage with all three bundles being $20 each. All will be gone before a week is up.
