360 DRM utility

MS have released a tool to let you migrate game licenses to your new 360 so that games can be played on or off line.

I've just done it and it's pretty painless.

Blimy, how'd I miss that; I'd been waiting for this tool too!

How does it work? I thought everything you downloaded was linked to gamertag so you could re-download?

It's linked to your gamer tag and console ID.

So if you downloaded an XBLA game on console A then moved to console B it would only work if your gamer tag was connected to Live! If you're offline then you can't play

This utility attaches old licenses to your new console.

Other issues were if my wife/daughter wanted to play I'd have to log in with a 2nd controller.

Third thread on this subject but I like this one the best so I'll post here

I've been waiting for this, nearly all my arcade games were downloaded on my original core 360.

i've transfered my licences earlier today, but it seems you have to re-download all your games on the console you've transfered the licences to??

You do but it doesn't actually download the whole game again - just takes a few secs.

Worked like a dream for me - very quick & painless

I've transferred it but havent bothered re-downloading til I actually feel like playing the games again.
