About time!

Apparently doesn't work for UK users at the moment though.

I think I'll finally purchase arcade games again

Worked fine for me. UK account. All done.

I think it's cause I'm on a mac, going to boot into to Windows and finally get my games back

Happy Microsoft have finally sorted this out, I was very close to selling my 360 because of the hassle I had to go through to get points refunded.

What would being on a Mac have to do with it? Unless it's your browser. But I'm using Firefox and on Linux...

The browser, I'm using Safari.

Pfft you shouldn't be using that. Haven't you heard. Firefox is uber fast so porn gets to your eyes quicker.

lol

Well, I didn't know Firefox 3 was out. I tried the beta and it kept crashing for me so I might swap it

I wasn't sure if it was faster than Safari as it's fairly fast for me, guess I'll give it a go.

Might want to add the link to the FAQ to the first post:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/faq.htm

Note there is a part that states this tool can only be used ONCE within a 12 month period.

I've just checked at the start of the process and I've 17 game licences (for what content I can't be sure) registered to my dead 360 and 554 for my replacement. The thing is that I was looking to pick up a new revision 360 near Xmas to replace my current Xenon replacement. If I were to transfer the 17 licences over to my current console now then I would have to wait another 12 months to transfer my licences again to any potential new 360

I guess its to stop people loaning content between consoles?

Get WebKit, it's the fastest browser there is.

It's an extension of Safari. About 3 faster than Safari 3.1 at the moment.

I've decided that I am going to wait until I buy a new revision box at the end of the year before I transfer my licences.
