just want to add my .02 cents on a great website that has a great library of xbox 360 game covers and labels for your back up games. http://www.cdcovers DOT cc/list/xbox360 (replace the DOT with a .)
Im still a noob so I guess I should encode the website for safety? correct me if Im wrong, just trying to help and want to get promoted from peasant...LOL

you can post live links
i dont mind

But guys
Dont use covers on your 360 backups
i know they look good and all.

let me tell you what happen to me.
i had some backup that i had not played in awhile.when i went to play one it would not load.i then said well ill just try all my backups.well after awhile i had like 5 that would not play.started bangging my head trying to figure out why they would not play now when they did.
reflashed firmware it drive me nuts for awhile.Then i read about labels messing the wobble up
the disc.a disc does not spin perfect in the drive without the label.if you do something that messes this up it wont read.
i had trash 3 or the backup and reburned them.i pulled the label of the other 2 and they started working.

if you must use labels then dont put them on till after you know the backup works good.then when it stops working you will know why.

supercoper dont take this wrong.you did good man
and yes that is one of the places i got mine from. :D
your almost there

Don't use labels!!!

Mate messed his wii up with them, and the 2 I put on for my 360 stopped the games working...

Buy the Inkjet printable ones, and a decent printer! :P

I might of suspected that the labels that go directly on the DVD may fowl performance BUT the DVD covers for the DVD case wont cause any issues, so lets just say use DVD cover inserts on the cases but avoid using labels directly on the DVD disc.
cheers!

I used to make a case for each one of my backups, but that got old real quick. Now I keep them all in one cd case and write what they are on them with a sharpie. Saves a lot of time since my kids never seem to get them in the right case anyways.

same here, I used to buy green dvd cases and print all the covers off, but I soon ran out of space...

you know i have about 4 games that have labels on them, Gears of War and NFS: MW are the main 2 i play, and i have never gotten a disc error... i think it depends on the labels and the drives.
