    If you can't then do you have to get a dvd burner to burn games or can u use a regular cd burner. Thanks

    I would imagine its not possible since almost all Xbox games are dvd based but thats a question for Xbox people.

    i only know of 2 games that can be put on a cd-rw

    you will need to get a dvd burner or it is easier to get a much bigger hard drive and just put the games on the hard drive

    yeah not many games are that small but if you don't want to buy a dvd burner then buy a big hard drive and ftp everything.

    killswitch can be done with an overburn, the new bowling game (smallest xbox game ever, at 200+mb)
    gta3 will also fit, theres probably one or 2 more
    bear in mind a lot of xbox have problems with cdr/rw

    Won't work, maybe for Unreal Championship, use DVD-Rs, 4.7gb, much better.
