You may be curious if the Xbox 360 games can be copied. Definitely. However, you also need to do some home work. The first thing you will need is the right equipments
1. an Ethernet cable, a converting software ISO-file
2. a CD-ROM or a DVD writer
3. disc
4. software needed for your burning.
In order for you to successfully burn these games on your Xbox 360, you need to perform an installation process using a mod chip. Alternatively, you can also install or download firmware. This firmware is needed for you to bypass the system's verification process thus allowing you to burn the games.
How to copy games to your PC
There are 10 new songs that come with the initial package of the guitar hero download. Most of these are rock songs from band like My Chemical Romance and Toadies.
Downloading guitar hero songs to your PC is very easy. You will just need an Ethernet cable, mod chip for xBOx to be able to play the downloaded games and a couple of software-- one for converting the games to .ISO file and another for burning the games to the DVDs or CD-ROMs.
• The first thing that you should do is to connect your xBox to the computer with the use of the Ethernet cable. Once you get hooked with the source, you can now transfer the files and at the same time create backup on your hard drive.
• Once you have already downloaded the files, you can now convert it to .ISO files. You need to do this because the computer cannot recognize and open files that are not in .ISO format. You will require any software that can convert files to .ISO. If you do not have one, you can download free programs in the Internet for this.
• After converting the files, it is now time to copy and transfer it to the disks. You can use Nero's Burning Rom or Alcohol 120 software when transferring files to DVDs or CDs. This set of software is most compatible with the xBox series. This software is also available through the Internet and you can download it anytime, if you haven't got this one yet.
• Before continuing with the next set of games, you should try check it first with the xBox to make sure that it could read the disc properly. The usual problem encountered is that disc is not compatible with the player so try to look for the best CD or DVD to burn with.
If you are successful with the burning, you can go on with the other games and start enjoying the new guitar hero downloads.

Forget about Xbox vs. Wii. This Christmas, the fiercest videogame rivalry is a battle of the bands.
The makers of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock pulled out all the stops to defend their turf against rival music game Rock Band. They enlisted actual rock stars to write new riffs, and hired six guitar experts to turn dozens of real-world rock anthems into engaging game fodder.
Guitar Hero III "is the best game we've ever done," says Charles Huang, co-founder of RedOctane, the game's publisher.
It had better be. Guitar Hero quickly won fans after its 2005 release with its simple concept -- play rock songs with a plastic guitar. That game, which turned popular tunes into virtual notes that players slammed out on guitar-shaped controllers, spawned a huge-selling sequel, Guitar Hero II.
But now the franchise faces its first real challenge in the form of Rock Band, a multiplayer game that extends the "let's pretend we're rockers" strategy beyond the guitar to let players tackle drumming and vocals. The fact that Rock Band was created by Harmonix, the original maker of Guitar Hero, makes the struggle all the more personal.
To crank Guitar Hero III's fun factor to 11, its developers tapped rock 'n' roll star power.
The new song list is packed with well-known hits, from The Killers' "When You Were Young" to Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." The developers also added "boss battles" against virtual versions of real-life guitarists, bringing in Velvet Revolver's Slash and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello to motion-capture their signature stage moves. Both composed original guitar duets for the battle stages.
In contrast, Rock Band adds drumming and vocals to the mix, creating three distinct single-player experiences -- and one crazy four-player mode -- but doesn't deepen the guitar experience very much.
Guitar Hero is also less expensive ($80 to $90, depending on version), runs on the four major consoles and will ship Oct. 28. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Rock Band, which pack in all three controllers, will retail for a whopping $170 and won't ship until late November.
Perhaps most importantly, Guitar Hero III will be the only music game on Wii this year. Huang says the Nintendo console's casual game audience makes Wii a "phenomenal platform" for Guitar Hero III, and others agree.
"Supporting Wii will give Guitar Hero a big boost this holiday," says IDC game-market analyst Billy Pidgeon.
The Wii, PS3 and 360 versions of Guitar Hero III will also feature a new online multiplayer mode that lets players face off against opponents far and wide, or team up -- with one player taking lead guitar and the other on bass.
Every version of Guitar Hero III will feature a new wireless guitar controller styled after Gibson's famous Les Paul model. Going wireless was the hardware team's "first, foremost consideration," says Lee Guinchard, Red Octane's VP of hardware.
The upgraded controllers also have removable necks for easy storage and transportation. Changeable faceplates let players decorate their guitars with, for example, the American flag or the Union Jack, depending on which side of the Atlantic their rock loyalties lie.
But Guinchard says RedOctane was loath to alter the controller's basic setup, which consists of fret buttons, a strumming bar and a whammy bar.
Lead designer Alan Flores and his 30-person team faced enough of a challenge re-creating Guitar Hero's "deceptively simple" gameplay.
"You think it's a no-brainer -- it's five buttons, it's really easy," Flores says. "But when you dig into the guts of the game, it's really very complicated. Trying to make the note timing feel right is very tricky."
The developers decided to stick with guitars rather than expanding the gameplay to other instruments. "We wanted to take the Guitar Hero experience to the next level," says Flores, adding that they might dabble in drums in the future.
The pure-guitar approach will rack up sales during the crucial holiday season, predicts IDC's Pidgeon. But the Guitar Hero franchise, he says, will be "increasingly challenged" after Rock Band's release. He said he expects the latter game to "dominate the category" by next Christmas.
Guitar Hero III's makers may have little to worry about this year, but if they don't figure out how to let players become drum heroes and singing stars, they could be hitting sour notes in 2008. By Chris Kohler 10.26.07
