bummer

Side note if you have a profile on your xbox which has bought arcade games, can all other profiles play that same game?

Davey_Pitch · 03-10-2008, 15:40

Yes, I believe so. I think when you buy a game you get 2 licenses - 1 for the console, and 1 for the user. If you change hardware or your xbox, your profile can still play the games, but other people can't. If you still have the same console that you bought the game on, I believe any other profile can play it. We can test it later if you like, you can try one of the arcade games I've bought and see if it works on another profile

Ok was just thinking if my profile was available on your xbox if you could play the pub games

Davey is correct re: the licensing

And now once a year, you can reset the console licenses to move them to a new console, and if your box red rings, they change the licenses automatically - you just have to re-download the content again and it'll all work

I couldn't in that respect, as you're the one who bought the Pub Games, and it wasn't bought on my Xbox, so only you could play it on my console, if you were signed in.

However, I can play it anyway, as my bro very kindly gave me a code for it yesterday, as he got a code with his Fable 2 pre-order, but he already had the Pub Games

Ah ok cool, I should have a spare code too if someone wants it

just need to find out from gamestation what I'm getting

I was talking to Jen about trades the other day. Surely it's about time GAME brought back their 'trade for and get any game for 99p' deal back?

That's such an awesome offer and still the best I've seen at a highstreet retailer. Sadly, they've not run it since 2005.
