Difference between retail Xbox 360 game and back-up
Hey guys,

I've always wondered what the difference was between a retail xbox 360 game and a back-up, burned, stealthed game that must be played on hacked firmware. What makes the two different that won't allow you to play your stealth-burned games on an unmodded xbox 360? I hear it has something to do with a key embedded onto the retail game that back-ups lacks. But why can't this key be transferred onto the backup?

meh I forgot but it basically deals with a part of the dvd that can't be written to with a regular dvd drive burner. Very special equipment needed in order to make 1:1 copies of discs.

The way the data is stored on the disk is also different. On retail discs, the data is stored as physical rises and bumps, while on a burnt disk, the data is stored by the "ink".

iXtreme makes all discs show up as Xbox 360 media so the Xbox can't tell the difference.
