Comment on Xbox Live, DRM and Content Licences by Will Templeton

If you want, you can try and battle with the service centre to get them to transfer the licences. When I did this, it took more than a month. It may be more efficient for you to use the tool, even if it does prevent you from using it for another 12 months.

The DRM tool works on a profile-by-profile basis, so you will need to go through the steps above for each different profile on your console that has content attached to it, by using the tool while signed in to each different account and downloading each piece of content to the console you want it tied to.

I have just received a replacement console from MS service centre, they say that the DRM licenses have been transferred but they haven’t.

How does the DRM transfer tool work with multiple profiles on the same console where each profile has its own different DLC.

Useful stuff to know for when I finally upgrade my piddly 20GB hardrive.

Speaking of hard drives, I honestly don’t see why your content can’t be tied to your memory unit rather than your entire console. Don’t all Xbox HDs have their own unique id code too?

I say this as someone who’s got to lug his console halfway accross town to play some Perfect Dark splitscreen this weekend, Dispite the house I’m going to having their own 360. All in all downloadable contents starting to leave a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth…

That’s a good tip for if you’re taking your profile to your friend’s to show him Portal, but if you’re doing it at home as a workaround for not having the console licence, then the better option is to use the online licence transfer tool so you don’t have to bother. If you’re in need if a quick solution, though, without having to sit down and redownload all your stuff, I recommend it.

Good summary, but I would add one tip that is handy.

If you’ve purchased a new console and a friend or partner is now unable to play an XBL game on their own profile, simply sign into Live with your account that downloaded the game on a second controller. This then allows permission for other accounts to play, even something single player like ‘Portal: Still Alive’ works fine.

I didn’t know about that tool though, top notch news.

The stances of employees at Bungie, or 343 have nothing to do with the people who go around with the axe.

Peter, you’ve got your head on straight, it seems, and that’s very comforting to all us Halo fans out there who demand that “if you’re going to do it, do it right.”

I continue to look forward to your work.

Please let me know if you would like for me to pore over anything. I volunteer my time to you for that.

Take care!

The movie is going to be full feature length film. I’ve been following OC for a while; it appears like Microsoft and Bungie want this film to come about since it was featured on bungie.net and linked to twitter on 343.

“I remember watching a [fan-made] trailer for a Halo film,” says Peter Cooper, director of the upcoming Halo fan-film Operation Chastity. “[It] said ‘970 billion dead’. And you think – how many are left? Maybe 30 billion, maybe 100 billion – but 970 billion people have been killed. What is the story of those 970 billion?”
Funny how that was a trailer for Halogen and not for a fan-made film in any way, shape, or form. Smart dude, that Peter Cooper.

“If they feel that I’m endangering their IP, in a way that’s kind of a compliment. In the same way that Halogen was seen to be a potential threat against Halo Wars, for example. If they said that my small fan film, my £30,000 movie, was a potential threat to a $200 million dollar movie? That says a hell of a lot. I’d take that as a personal compliment. I’d cry into my tea for a while, if they did shut me down. It’d be tragic if they actually decided that. But if they took that decision, I’d understand, take it as a compliment, and hope that it could be solved in as swift and amicable way as possible.”
Oh, yeah, Microsoft issuing a ‘cease and desist’ order had nothing to do with them owning the rights to the Halo universe. It was totally because Halogen was deemed as a threat.

If he’s really that set to lose $30,000, he could always feed starving kids in Africa or something instead of intentionally violating various copyright and intellectual property laws.
