[360] Xbox 360 Discussion. Thermal paste, the delicious and nutricious snack of the future.

From the way my friend described it, DLC is linked to your gamertag. Apparently if you use the "recover gamertag" option, you can re-download it to your machine, and it deletes the content from any other 360 with your gamertag on it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

No, DLC is linked to both your gamertag and the console you first downloaded it on. For instance, Nutty bought Penny Arcade Episode 2 on my 360 and can download it and play it on any 360 he's signed into. I can also play it on my console without needing him signed in. However, if anyone but Nutty tries to play it on a console other than mine without him signed in it shows up as a Trial.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You would. However because you originally downloaded it on a different 360, you would need to be logged into XBOX Live to use any of the things you download. Also, nogamertag other than the yours will be able to use the things you download, except on the first console to download that content.

Forget about drives, they aren't relevant. It's consoles and gamertags. Your best option to transfer shit is to get a small memory unit to copy your saves, and then redownload your DLC.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Whilst this is true, and was previously your only option, Microsoft have got an online facility to allow you to migrate your licences to your new machine: Xbox.com | System Use - Transferring Content Licenses to a New Console

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's not entirely true. If Lukage signs in on the second (or third/fourth) controller, another person could play any content that he's downloaded with no problem. The controller wouldn't need to stay on; Lukage would just have to be signed in.

I have one but I used it already.

Which software version did you get? They never sent me my cable when I asked for one a month ago or so.

It should be printed on the disc. If it's >1.0 it'll work with the 60s.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thanks for the info guys.

I keep reading posts saying that didn't get the job done, but I guess maybe that's more the incompetance of the users rather than the fault of the tool. At least some of those posts were from GameFAQs, so...

Thanks for enlightening me, Tritoch. I had no idea about that loophole.

FELIPE NO

I could be 150 percent wrong, but doesn't the system annoy the piss out of you with alerts if a profile is signed in but the controller's turned off, asking, repeatedly, to turn it the fuck on?

I guess you could turn global alerts off but I like them, so.

Most amazing jew boots

It's possible with some games, but I've been playing Penny Arcade Episode 2 like that for the past two days, and Nutty did it with The Maw earlier today. The system didn't pop up any alerts or anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I'd had to buy a new 360 recently and everything I'd downloaded on the original was behaving except for the Project Sylpheed DLC (the challenge missions pack with the exotic-weapon rewards); this utility got it squared away.

How ya doing, buddy?

Community Games are weird. Has anyone seen Remote Masseuse or Rumble Massage? Did Microsoft really think people were going to use their rapidly vibrating and pulsing controllers w/ network play on their neck or back? I'm surprised they let those games go through to the Marketplace.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, and why the fuck did Nintendo use a long, slender shape for the Wii remote when you can stick it in your ass and use it to massage your prostate? Don't people think of these things? Jesus Christ.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm not saying people are gonna start sticking controllers inside themselves just because. This is like the trance vibrator thing for Rez but in these two games the whole point is to massage with your controller, literally. It's just weird and a bit amusing that they actually allow that on there and charge for it while at the same my friends are getting suspended left and right for having a swear word in their profile.

Most amazing jew boots

My point is that you're retarded if you think they're going to stop the release of something perfectly harmless meant for some other purpose on the basis that there's the occasional fuckwit who's going to use it on their genitals.

Why are you associating something completely harmless with innuendo.

FELIPE NO

everybody knows the only possible reason something would vibrate is so you can rub it on your junk, man

don't be so naive

Maybe your friends should not be retarded? I dunno, says pretty clearly in the TOS and shit you can't have offensive content in your profile. And from my experience, the people that do put such stuff in their profiles are usually the worlds biggest douchebags anyways. "hurr im so tuff bitches come get at me" is basically saying "Please slap me with a Code of Conduct ban because I am very not smart."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't disagree, it's completely their fault for breaking the TOS, anyway. I'm not going to rally and say they shouldn't be suspended, I've even told some of my friends to change their shit before they get suspended. Probably not the best point for me to make.

I don't see why it's some outrageous stretch for me to say what I did about those games just because they don't flat out advertise as something sexual, christ. It's not even that big of a deal to me and I never said they should remove those games. It's just amusing and slightly awkward to see that while browsing the games. It reminds me of those weird Harry Potter brooms they used to sell on Amazon whether the controversy was true or not. If I have a dirty mind then...whatever, sorry for even talking about it at all.

I do know that I'm addicted to that new Peggle game, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How can you play that game, it's all about balls moving around.

You know.

Balls.

Sounds like it'd be right up your alley then, Mo0. Why are you trash talking it.

get it "right up your alley" ahahaha oh man it's funny because you're so gay

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Man, Tails, why would you say something like that. You of all people talking about alleys.

get it because black people mug people in alleys hahaha you're black

I submit that the fuckwit is anybody who uses it for anything but their genitals.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Has anyone here ever used MS' disc replacement program? I got a busted up Halo 3 disc here that refuses to load and I was considering sending it in, but it looks like it's $20 a pop, if the send off paper is to be believed.

Worth it?

Most amazing jew boots

I'd have thought you could pick up a second hand copy for less than that.
