I use DVD shrink at the moment for my DVDs but I was unaware that it can do console games aswell.

Actually, on second thoughts you might be right about that — although it claims to have DeCSS... (?)
I did a bit of further googling and saw a lot of stuff about CloneDVD and AnyDVD (tutorial [broken link removed])
Bearing in mind of course that it is illegal to copy anything that you don't already own...:smokin

Of course, just as I wouldn't think of backing up a DVD that I didn't own, I wouldn't consider backing up a game I didn't own. So all nice and legal .
Note that even if you own the original digital content the terms & conditions of the relevant licensing agreement (to which you implicitly agree by buying/opening the item) may preclude copying or making backups. Also, as far as I know, it's illegal in many juristictions to use .

As far as i know you have to get your console chipped to play recorded games. Some crowd in ireland do it. Google it.

It was only because the hard drive contained 15 games that was illegal. There's nothing illegal about putting a large hard drive or chip on PS2s and Xboxes.
If you get a PS2 or Xbox the games will get badly scratched after a while which will lead to the games taking ages to load and crashing randomly during the game. To prevent this, I would chip the console and copy the game to the harddrive so it means your original game is in pristine condition and because you're playing from the hard drive its a lot faster loading.
Likewise when I buy a PC game I always download a non-CD executable which lets me play the game from the hard drive instead of spend ages looking for the CD just so I can put it the CD-ROM drive for the split second it takes to verify the securom protection.

There is no "fair usage" policy in Ireland i think it is called. Therefore, 99% of the stuff you buy in the shop, you cannot make any copies fo it at all, even for personal usage or backup...
