this may be a stupid comment, but, when you buy the game, you can download it as much as you want, with the account that you used to pay for it, right?

so why not just put that live account on a MU, and use that account to download the content onto other boxes

I'm pretty sure the downloading program will check the Xbox's eeprom to make sure it's not being downloaded on a different Xbox.

Revello, what happens when you try to sign in XBL with the maps that were copied over from a different Xbox? As soon as I get back to my cable connection I will buy these maps to play on XBl, but out of curiosity I would like to know.

hi raph!

Alright, it's the same thing as with those Paris Cars in PGR2.
The problem with xbox live is, that xbox live boots your game from dvd drive, that means, the xbox takes all necessary informations/files from your original dvd and the downloaded content from your savegame (on your hdd).

so, the only way to play the new maps, WHEN you didn't get the maps via XBOX LIVE DOWNLOAD, is to copy them FROM to your gamedir (on HDD) where the full game is located = if you start your game from dvd, it won't show the new maps, because those maps are only stored, as i said, in the gamedirectory of the fullgame on your hdd.
you can only start those new maps with modchip, gamestart from hdd, = no xbox live.

I hope i did describe that easily to understand

[/QUOTE]@raph:

about 30 MB

I don't think that 2 maps are 30mb I would think they would have to be more then that.

Forgive if it sounds stupid or something

When I had the problem of getting the DLC from PGR2 (Paris & cars) onto my other xboxes, i found that if you use a memory card to transfer the gamertag across, you can goto DLC on another console, and the content already says purchased. So it seems that M$ don't mind you putting it on another console.
The only problem is if you have a TSOP'd xbox with no original bios on board

all im saying about this is, signatures..... and good luck

you realize this topic has been dead for almost 2 years, right? Last post date before yours was 7/04. and if your talking about having signatures to make dlc work, that can and has been bypassed also. "non native" dlc can work by editing default.xbe. where you get the dlc is banned topic matter.

i didnt really bother going back to read 2 pages of a 2 year old thread to know exactly what was asked though.

I was wondering if it would be possible for my friend to send me a cd with the 2 maps and I be able to play them in the tutorial mode

eh.. topic started with piracy, so closed.
