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. :mad:

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.

Thanks for the reply but honestly I have only ever used my own console. 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*

Sorry, should have mentioned that too - if you get it fixed, you have to do the transfer also (I heard they used to do it themselves, guess they got lazy ... ). So just go to the link and do what it says, everything should work fine.
