Vincentdante Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hey guys. The other day my internet went down for a bit, but I decided to go onto my 360 anyway to play one of my arcade games. When I went into my games library I noticed that only my recent purchases were available to play. The arcade games I bought sometime ago were only available in trial form. Can anyone shed any light on why this happened and tell me how I can correct it please? F***ing M$ I would like to play the games I bought when I want to.

RadiantViper Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Arcade games/DLC/other downloadable content have licenses tied to both the HDD and console they are bought on. You probably bought those games on your HDD but on a friends console or something similar. You can still play those games when signed in to XBL, but not offline. To fix this, go here: http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/. It has all the info on how to perfrom the transfer, it should fix it (I had to do it once). In the future, make sure you download only on your Xbox/HDD. Edited April 2, 2010 by RadiantViper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did had to send it to M$ not too long ago due to the RROD so perhaps the fix registers it as a new console in the XBLA's eyes? *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just go to the link and do what it says, everything should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
