Why Cant I Play A Download Game On Xbox 360

A long time ago, I bought a few games from Xbox Live Arcade (Toy Soldiers and Greed Corporation). We haven't set up our internet connection yet since we moved, but I can still play them unlocked.

The youngest also enjoys these games so we decided to get them on his Xbox. We went to a friends place, used the friend's Xbox which was connected to the internet and bought the games on our silver account.

As long as the youngest's Xbox is connected to the internet, the games are full games and unlocked, but once I take it back home and set it up off the internet, the games revert back to trial games.

Why

Aug 22, 2017 - The game cover thing comes up then it fades away back to the Xbox home screen. Your system might say you are online but MS's servers can't confirm it. Xbox Games Store,Buying downloadable items,Downloading items that you. In short, only the person that has the home console tag can play the. This is a Sly Nation 'How To:' This is the easiest way I know to play all the free backwards compatible 360 games with gold, even when you dont own an Xbox 360 anymore. Its easier than you think. If you do want to use your Xbox 360 to play original Xbox games, you just need to ask the right questions of the seller before you buy a 360 HDD. Ask them if it is an official or hacked drive. And if it is a modified drive, ask them if it has the necessary partitions. Until powerful enough hardware for an emulator is common, no, you cannot play 360 games on PC. That is not true, my friend. You are SO WRONG. The xbox 360 and ps3 PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE i7 and TITANS!!

Is there anyway to unlock these games on his Xbox like they are on my Xbox?

I heard it might be related to the fact that originally, the silver account was on a memory card, but i transfered it to the hard drive a few months ago.

When you purchase a game from XBLA, that game is licensed in 2 ways:

  1. To the account you purchase with it.
  2. To the machine that you purchase it on.

Seeing as you purchased those games on another machine, that's why it is requiring you to be online to verify those games are licensed to your account.

What you need to do is transfer content licenses to your console. It is a multi-step process, and you need to be with your new machine as you might need the Console ID, but it's fairly painless and quick. The full instructions and some videos for the license transfer are found at www.xbox.com/drm.
