Question Re: XBLA TMNT games

[Venom]

Hey all,

I wasn't on LIVE when the 2 Turtle games were on there, so I'm wondering if it's possible to copy the game from a friend's 360 onto a flash drive and be able to play it on mine?

I have a couple of 3.5 Gb sticks that I let LIVE properly format for the Xbox and transferred my old stuff from my previous white 360 to my new slim a few months back, so doing that made me curious if I could save and play the TMNT games from those.

Thanks, and forgive the noobishness of my question, I'm not a big LIVE user.

Psst, anyone have a clue?

Not really. It's worth a shot though.

Be happy to answer your Q's, No you cannot copy an arcade game from your friend's xbox and play it on your, unless you play on their profile. You can play it on any xbox, but the game can only be played on the profile in which it was purchased on......

Thats my understanding, but you might be able to cope an arcade game to you xbox, and unplug or disconnect from xbox live and play that way, but that is only a guess.....

Why is it that, when I switch to my nephew's profile, it's still playable then? :-?

I think it's because you downloaded the game to your X-box. Even if you sign in under your nephew's profile, you're still signing in on your system... I think that's how it works.

I think it breaks down like this: The game is assigned to the system and the gamertag. If it's on the system you originally downloaded it to, then you can play is using either your gamertag or someone else's. But, if you copy the game to someone else's system, you can only play it if you sign in with your gamertag, because it's not on the original system it was downloaded to.

Please, don't take my conjecture as fact, though. I could be entirely wrong. lol.

Ah, thanks. Don't want to get my box banned from LIVE so I guess I'll hope for Activision re-releasing them at some point down the line.

Did Activision pick up the licensing for tmnt games???? and I dont think you will be band by doing so like I said bc you are disconnecting from xbox live, your are not hacking or modding there system, its just a guess though :ohwell:
