What CD's are xbox games originally put on?

[Not_Pro_Modder]

I know i've asked this before, but I can't find the post anywhere. So which CD's are xbox games put on? Where can I get some? Does anyone know for sure which brand and type of CDs the games are on? If so please post with as much detail as possible. Thanx!

DVD-R you can get these from radioshack, best buy, circuit city, places like that

Heres a good deal RadioShack.com - Home Entertainment: Accessories: Video accessories: Recordable media: Memorex® Printable DVD-R with Label Pen (20-Pack)

this also depends on what kind of drive u have

^^^im not sure about that one

[Scar]

they are actually put on DVD-R Dual Layered discs

[T Sizzles]

Samsungs and Philips drives accept almost all media, Thompson drives accept everything except DVD+ Media and CD-/+RW

The brand of the media matters, too.

no u have to use a dvd+ or - but u cant use a cd-r because thats just like songs and making a data disc not dvd,s or games.

DVD R DL (Duel Layered) I would recommend Verbatim brand. They can be purchased at Best Buy.

thats a lie, i have a thompson and it accepts DVD+RW media, it also accepts cd+rw, for both of these i have to turn the xbox on and off like 20 times to try to get it to load, it could just be the brand

xbox games are put on DVD+R Dual Layer Disks, they are expensive, and your need a special drive to burn on 2 layers, also if your planning to burn games to it a retail xbox drive wont be able to read it, it will stil see it as dvd+r dl and not dvdxbox because its not signed with a special code only microsoft has, so untill somone gets that, no burned games on live, unless you have flashed firmware. but i heard there guna start banning for thats sooooo yea

So there just burned onto a regular dvd-r?

well if you buy a xbox game from the store its on a DVD-R DL but u can put games one any type of DVD
