Split The Cost Of All Content With Your Friends...

[SuMeRiaN]

I am sure this is nothing new for most of you, however some of you may have never heard this before. You can share the cost of ALL content (except halo 2 maps) with your friends.

Basicly, one of two things need to be present to access content downloaded from the marketplace. 1) The original console it was paid for and downloaded on. 2) The original gamer tag that purchases the content, providing you can authenticate with the XBOX live servers.

I rarely do this because most of my XBOX purchases are out of blue, usually when I am drinking.

All you need is an MU with your profile on it, take your MU to your friends house and buy the content and download it. Since his console was the one it was downloaded on he will always have access to it. When you get home just redownload the file again and your done.

Most of my friends are cheap bastards so I am always seeing emails go back "Who wants split the cost of obvilion" ....

Just thought I would share,,,,

But it is tied to your Gamertag, and it can only be used one at a time.

But it is tied to your Gamertag, and it can only be used one at a time.

Seriously what I am saying is the truth and it works with every piece of content on the marketplace.

Yes it is tied to your gamertag (providing you can auth with XBOX live) however your gamertag is one of two varibles, remember only one varible is needed to access the content. The other varible being the console it was originaly downloaded on.

Ohhh, I think I see what you are saying... Only one gamertag can be used at a time that is correct, in fact account recovery should never be used as method for traveling with your profile.

Here is a FAKE example;

Today I drive to my friends house and buy the RB6 map pack, oldman gives me 5 dollars. I used my account SuMeRiaN to purchase with my profile on my MU. I buy the content on my friends 360. In doing so, Oldman's console and EVERY user created it on has access to the map pack. This adheres to the first variable, original console it was downloaded on.

He can unplug from live and always have access to this content, however his gamertag can not travel with this content.


When I return home I have to redownload the content on my Hard drive. As long as I adhere to the 2nd variable, the profile that paid for the content and can authenticate with live I can access it.

I can not unplug from live, this content is tied right to my profile after authenticating with XBOX live. I can travel with the content because I am its owner..

Oldman and I play RB6 new maps for hours on end :)

I think I just made it to confusing lol...

Edit; I dont know if you know this but I am SuMsHaDy, dantasparta and han solos best friend.
