Using Arcade Games On Multiple Accounts With The Same 360
« on: August 02, 2006, 09:04:00 AM »
I haven't bought a Live Arcade game before but Street Fighter is calling to me except I have on question before I do. If I buy the game on my account will my gf be able to play the game on her live account which is on the same 360? I have seen other people mention similar situations but with conflicting answers and searching did not help to much.

yes, the game locks to the purchasing account and the system it was purchased on.this means the following:

if the game is running on the system its purchased on, any user account can play it.

if the game is running on a system other then the one it was purchased on (transfered by memory card, harddrive removed and attached to another system etc.) then only the account that purchased it can use it.
