A question about Microsoft Points

Sanchez · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:55

I've only just started buying MS points so you'll have to forgive me if this is a silly question but......

If you have multiple profiles on one 360 (one for me and one for my little brother) will he have access to the DLC I purchase through my profile? The reason I ask this is because I've downloaded some of the free cars for Forza 2 and while they show up in my profile, they don't in my brothers. He wants some of the car packs and obviously I'd prefer it if it was available to us both after downloading it.

Thanks for any help.

If you have the licences on that Xbox. Every profile on that Xbox will be able to use the content as far as I know.

If the licence isn't on that Xbox, only the profile that downloaded it will.

You can use the Microsoft DRM tool to see which console the licences are linked to.

All the licences should be on this console as it;s the only one I've had and the only one the game has been used with. I'll give it a go and see. If it doesn't work you owe me 400 Microsoft Points!

XBLA games downloaded on your profile can be played as full games on other profiles on the same box. I don't think this applies to game content though.

I can check on my own system and report back (if you haven't already spent the points).

**Edit**

I've fired up GRAW 2 on my main account as I had purchased the 2 bonus packs for it last month. I then logged out and logged into a US account that I made purely to access the US Live downloads. I've never used this account for any games but it appears that I have full access to the GRAW 2 bonus packs which I paid for under my main account.
