Is it possible to take the DLC off my friends xbox and onto myn? Using a usb stick?
What if he used his profile on my xbox and re-downloaded it?
His is unflashed/untouched
Myn is flashed (Samsung LT v1.0 FW)
not sure if this info matters or not.

Re: Borderland DLC
no you cant do that
the DLC is console /account bound
if he puts his HD with his profile on your console it will only play if he is signed in to live
most if not all
that are pay DLC is HD/console/account bound
there are even a few free DLC that are the same way

Re: Borderland DLC
Ok thanks CoFree. One other question
If i install borderlands to the HDD and play that way, will i still be "safe" from live detecting the backup disc?
Or is there no real difference
Cause i keep getting a disc unreadable error.
I burned it to a memorex dvd
Samsung LT1.0 FW

Re: Borderland DLC
Memorex disks are lower quality than verbatim's that could be part of the problem. Verbatim disks have better quality controls in place which means all their disks are high quality where as with memorex and many other companies each disk quality varies, which will not matter for most applications, but with xbox backups this can be a big issue.
Another thing may be your drive itself. You can buy a new laser from the ebay or a modding website(hitachi or samsung lasers will both work). You can also pot tweak if you like but it's a temporary fix.
Installing to the HDD wont change anything. The console still must check the disk in the drive to verify its the correct one to load the game data from the hard drive. If your disk fails the check you'll still be flagged. Installing to HDD will remove the disk errors though.
If you take the original game, install it to your hard drive, then make a backup with a cheap memorex disk, the console should be able to read the disk enough to enable you to play from hard drive.

Re: Borderland DLC

Re: Borderland DLC
you cant have it going in 2 consoles
as long as the console is on live and his profile is still on that console it would work
bt
the sec he took his profile off that console it would no longer work

Re: Borderland DLC
Actually you CAN!!!!!! Cofree lol
All you have to do is a license transfer to your consol using his gamertag
You can do this by going to xbox.com/drm
Once you have done the transfer download the dlc using his gamertag on your console.
Once done delete his gamertag and the dlc will work fine!!
Remembr you can only do this 1 TIME EVERY YEAR so make the most of all the dlc your mate has.
Ive done this twice now with codmw2 and cod waw packs and they work at th same time on both systems!!!

Sweet, thanks guys
One question. After my friend downloads the content to my xbox, can he still access his own back on his xbox?

Re: Borderland DLC
Shauny good post, a friend of mine tried to get me to do this method a few days ago for the vietnam pack for bad company. It was too much trouble to go through to save $15 so I didnt do it. Plus I figured M$ would figure out what we've done and banned one or both of us.
The only thing that might ever be an issue is if your friend want's to play offline with his dlc. Wont work, he will always need to be connected to live.
You can only move licenses once a year so make sure your both sure you want to do this.
Also, Microsoft may be able to detect what your doing, and if they do you can bet they will ban one or both of you. Then again they may have no way to detect it.
Yes, the way it works is your console has his licenses. Which means you can use the DLC without being logged into his gamertag. His console will not have the licenses so in order for him to use the DLC he will need to be logged in. You can also use this method to get any DLC he has that you dont for other games. IE map packs etc...JaWzZz wrote:Sweet, thanks guys
