I can’t understand why you are not allowed to copy PGR3 photos to USB storage devices in Xbox360.

But if you followed my last post you will know that this is possible know! You only have to follow this tutorial.

PGR3 is really really beautiful. It is undoubtly the best looking videoracing game made so far. Click the thumbnails to see the full images.

These are the things you will need if you want to do it:

  • Torx #6 and Torx #10 Screw Drivers
  • A PC motherboard supporting HDD SATA connection

The first 4 screws are removed using the T6 screwdriver. One of the four screws is covered with a Microsoft Logo. Removing this screw will make you lose the warranty.

The next 4 screws can be removed with the T10 screwdriver.

You almost got it. Now, remove the attached SATA adaptor form the HD and slide it.

You got it, the HDD (my unit is manufactured by Samsung) is really small.

The only step that remains is to connect the HDD to your motherboard using a standard power and data SATA cable.

And now, you are ready to start using Xplorer360 to explore the HDD. I was interested in this to extract my PGR3 photos. If you are trying this to copy original games, live arcade games or even copy achievements from other accounts, forget it: that information is not stored (thanks to God) here.

If you discover something interesting, don’t hesitate to make it public.
