i was just imagining XBLA games too. i mean are they locked to the hdd, or the user acount? cause if you can use your account on somebody else's machine, can you also use those games you downloaded on another machine? i.e. re download them? i would imagine not.Quote:

Douchebag. I'm a bit touchy with Scarface because I liked it.
They're tied to the account.Quote:

The quote I responded to talked about Mass Effect. I took the opportunity to insult Too Human while I had the chance. I'd draw you a diagram or something but my scanner's on the fritz.Quote:

Unless it's stored on your memory card, yes.Quote:

Did you download the full version, or just unlock the demo? I think that makes a difference.Quote:
