    Hi Guys, (And Mods :D )

    Just wondering why we cant start topics about backing up games? Okay it's illegal to post isos and backup games you dont own but talking about it isnt..games you own that is?
    Opinions welcome?

    It's against the law to make copies of software (backups or otherwise) for some obvious reason ;)

    Nearly all companies operate a service to replace broken discs to resolve the matter.

    iv'e never ever heard of a service like that before...
    also you'r allowed to make one copy of your legally owned disc for obvious reasons.
    there are loads of other forums around the net which discuss the topic..that is my main reason for posting..

    Read the manual to your games? No?

    Actually your not allowed back them up and they do have a guarantee where they will replace them within reason.

    Then discuss it there.
