How to Unzip an .XEX File for Free
The .XEX file format is an XBox 360 video game format that can only be used by the Microsoft XBox 360 gaming system. It is possible to download these files from the Internet and later burn the data onto a CD or DVD, however the files usually are compressed into a Zip file when you first obtain the file. In order to use the XEX file you need to extract the contents of the Zip file. Most computer operating systems already have a Zip extraction program installed, but if you don't you can obtain a free to use Zip program from the Internet.
