If I have a live account and I download a game at home can I also download it on a 360 at work or do I have to pay twice?

No dice on that. Sony is the only company that allows multiple downloads of titles. Shouldn't squeenix have partnernet accounts though?

I'm sure we do but I was looking to set up a plain old 360 (not dev or debug kit) for random use.

I've downloaded the same thing twice on the same XBOX but I guess that's different.

The internet is a place where men are men, women are men, and little boys are the FBI.

I believe the way their DRM works (and dont hold me to this) is that its unlocked for the console it was downloaded on as well as the account.  As in any live account on the purchasing console can play and any console on which the purchasing live account is logged in can play.

Anyone know if today's update activated netflix?  xbox.com seems to indicate so but I don't see how you would go about streaming netflix.

*edit* Nm I'm an idiot, the update goes in tonight (or at least An update goes on tonight)

That patch is supposed to be sometime in November.  The one tomorrow is to get ready for the big one in november.

Lame, xbox.com makes it sound like it's already available, thus why I thought it was going to be in tonight :(

Always double check with Major Nelson. If it's too good to be true, Major Nelson is probably telling you it is.

I have multiple 360's in the house.  I've downloaded the same arcade games on all of them.  It's per Live profile.  So if you bought something with your gamertag/account, you can DL it anywhere you are signed in.  If you sign out, and try to play it with another gamertag, you cannot.

I had games at home and work too (when I had a 360 at work), and only paid once per game.


oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer

Was Margalis referring to Live Arcade games or XBOX Originals?

Shouldn't matter.  I have Psychonauts on two different boxes.  Once I bought it with points, it puts a checkmark next to the title.  Showing me in symbol language that it's enabled for my gamertag.  I just click the title, and choose "download again" (or something worded like that).
