Sad, sad, sad! No more burning for your hard drive with DVD X Copy Platinum! Pressed by legal issues, the developers of DVD X Copy Platinum have discontinued the option to burn for your hard drive. Additionally, they have put so many defenses against software piracy that now it is next to impossible to copy a DVD or a game even for your own personal use.

If you want to use DVD X Copy to copy PlayStation games, this might prove impossible. The reason is that many games have such safeguards that even if you somehow manage to copy the game from the original media, the copy will hardly work. If you don�t give up easily, you can still have a try because you lose nothing. Anyway, getting a new copy of a game you love is expensive and older games are hard to find.

Because so many people used the software for dishonest gain, it ruined the whole idea for the rest of us. The software was banned from sale in 2003, so you can no longer find authentic software for sale, let alone the support you may need if you have a problem.

You can purchase fake knockoffs of the original 321 Studio product, but you must understand that you get what you pay for, not the good stuff guaranteed to work. The price may be low, but you will not have the support you may need because whoever is selling the phony software may be caught and go down at any time.

A decent substitute for personal use is    .
