My kid wants his own xbox, which would make that the 2nd xbox in the household. But given i've purchased all the live titles under my profile, and there's no way in hell am i spending out on another Gold sub, is there anyway to have a 2nd xbox sharing the one profile, so that it loads my profile from the cloud instead of the local HD ? It's fine to not have both on at the same time.

One thing I can't be dealing with is copying profiles across USB pens everytime he or i wants to turn either one of the xbox's on.

So are there any multi 360 owners here on here that know the answer ?
 
Not sure what your asking.

are you asking if your purchased titles can be used by both you and your son OR if he can have his own xbox but use your gamertag?

if the 2nd then that is possible, along with downloading all the games (dependent on usage restrictions) sky, etc etc. i have xbox in my room and downstairs so thats what i do.
 
You can download your existing profile on the new xbox, with no need to transfer it via USB.

For games, all your previously purchased Live games can be redownloaded onto the new xbox.

You just couldnt have both xboxes on at once.

What is the point of having a 2nd xbox when you are only ever going to be using one or the other?

convenience. I have one in the living room, and one in the room with the PC. Its a great escape when the Mrs is watching her trashy TV.

and, as others have said. Yes, running two 360's in the one house is no problem.

so is it a quick process pulling the profile down from the cloud ? or a few minutes ordeal ?

yeah, couple of min tops on first sync. i suppose it all depends on how many save files need to be sync'd. If you use both consoles regularly they will be pretty much up to date, and it wont take any time at all.

its only when you go for long periods between sync's, that you'l notice any delay.
