|
 |
is it possible to buy stuff on marketplace if i hook up my HDD on an non-ban console then hook it up back on my Ban console and be allowed to play it??
Im asking cause in another thread, i just got the bad news that Bionic Commando ReArmed will be only available on XBL and thats basicly the only game i was really waiting for..im a big fan of Bionic Commando on teh NES.

Yeah, I remember that too. I figure that's why MS changed the DRM policy. Now you just need to sign-in with the account you used to buy the game, and it will work on any machine.
Check out Google for more info, just to make sure.
-Edit-
The reason why it would be so easy for you, without having to go through the license transfer, is because you'll be using your own HDD on the other Xbox. The games are now tied to HDD/Gamertag rather than Xbox/Gamertag.
Download on your hdd, load it up, take HDD off and put it back on your Xbox. Done.

Does this also work for DLC's? And what happens if your hd dies, can you redownload XBL games and DLC's with your gamertag?

Yes and Yes. Also, once the DLC is actually downloaded to the HDD - and activated by the Gamertag that purchased them, they work for ANY profile on the HDD. Online or offline.
Since I'm in Norway right now, I can't purchase ANYTHING off Live on my XBL account (It's a UK-based account and I can't even add MSP either, due to my CC being a UK-based card) so I have to use my girlfriend's Norwegian account. That works perfectly. I buy points and download via her account, then log out and log back in with MY account and everything works fine.
As for the HDD, Microsoft have a tool on their site that allows transfer of licenses in case your HDD dies or you need to move the data to another hard-drive. As long as your drive is functional, plugging it into any 360 will allow you to play the games installed on it.

I know a FEW are free, but the majority I've seen all cost money.

Too bloody right! I'm especially gutted over Soul Calibur 4 and Ridge Racer 6. It costs 1500MSP for the soundtrack addons for SC4 .. and each track, over 40, for RR6 costs 80MSP each.
Gah.
I've spent about 600MSP on RR6 tunes, and the worst thing? You can only listen to them ingame!! WTF? Talk about a waste. I'd have rather had them as usable in the Media Blade too.

Im fuckin pissed, i think if i get a new console, in will be able to unlock them rigth away since my account bought them. But its still fuckin stupid, i cant beleive that even the updates didnt stayed on my HDD.
Maybe, like you said, the update remove the DRM but i cant get the updates. I tried the manual thing with the update you download off MS site but it doesnt work at all and i tried every possible way.
So now i need to find someone who doesnt use Live to tradde it with me

Me neither...fuck i hate M$.
Thats what happen when they pulled stunts like that by banning the console, it will get sold on Ebay and someone else will get the problem, its a never ending circle. They should have just banned the account making you loose all achievements. That would make poeple think twice before playing backups.

Shouldn't be too hard, find someody that doesnt have his flashed, tell him that youll throw in a bunch of games, and chances are hell trade you, even people that do use live.
I did that twice allready and have a buddy lined up if i get banned again.
