it wouldnt be the fact the people put work, time , and effort into something that people enjoy and expect to be compensated for would it?
i'd also like to draw everyone attention to the fact this is called dvd bruners, i realize its a typo and people make mistakes but im making fun of you on the inside

yes now i realize that I spelled "burners" wrong(lol)
The DVD BRUNER needs to be able to read DVD-RAM which some can but they cost a shit load of money more then a regular one that doesn't.

Yeah, a DVD burner can burn games for a PS2 or Xbox providing a couple of things...
First you need to make(rip) an image of the origonal game - my old DVD-rom drive could read most PS2 discs I put in it, so I assume this isn't a hard thing to do. Or you could download an image from, say, suprnova.org
The second restrant is that if the game is greater than 4.7gb, then you can't burn it to a single DVD. The current generation of DVD recordables can only write single layer discs (4.7gb) - most movies and games are dual layer disc (9.8gb). So you probably are going to be limited there, unless you can span the game over 2 discs without it going apeshit at you.
Thirdly, you need a mod chip in your console to play these games and possibly a boot disc of some type too.
Not owning any console, it is hard for me to say exactly how easy or hard it is to copy a game. I do own a DVD burner, and when it comes to copying single sided movie, its a walk in the park because you can do an exact copy - doubled layered discs are hell because you have to re-encode them which isn't hard unless you want awesome quality.
