    Bought game on Live. Can I use friends disc to install?


    Hi all,

    I bought Battlefield 1 Deluxe Edition online, but due to where I am the download will take days. My friend has the disc and I was wondering if I could use his disc to do the initial big download and have my xbox know that I purchased the game online so I will
    not need the disc to play. Or do I just have to wait it out?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Bought on Live but want to use Disc

    Hi all,

    I just bought Battlefield 1 Deluxe Edition on Live but due to where I am the download time is stupid long.

    My friend has a disc and I was wondering if I could use his disc to download the main content so it happens in hours instead of days AND have my xbox recognize that I bought the game online so I won't need a disc to play.

    Thanks in advance!

  3. buying a Rugby 2015 online

    Hi there, I bought Rugby 2015 (disc), my friend bought it online. while the online game was busy downloading he inserted my Rugby2015 disc in his xbox one. the was fully installed. now he can not play the game without the disc, although he bought it online
    aswell.

    my question is how can we get the game he bought online on his xbox so that I can get my game disc back.

    my copy of halo 1 doesn't want to run on my xbox 360

    Have you tried obtaining a friend's copy and install their game onto your console?

    Because once I bought a used copy of BF4 and the campaign disc happened to be slightly scratched up. I've tried everything from rubbing deodorant all over the disc to splattering toothpaste on it. In the end, I borrowed a friend's copy and installed the
    disc. After that, my copy worked perfectly.

    Can somebody explain game ownership structure to me?

    The above was explained quite well, but I'll add a little bit extra:

    As already mentioned, when you buy a disc game, you still need to keep the disc inserted to play. However, there are some exceptions to this. For example, if you have the disc version, but your friend has the digital version - and your friend is using their
    account on your console - they won't need to insert the game disc, because they own the digital rights.

    Also, if for example your friend installs their game disc on your console, and then you decide you want that game too and go the digital route, all you need to do is pay for it via Xbox LIVE. The installed game will unlock and you can play that game on your
    account without the disc. This could be very useful if your Internet connection is slow as you won't need to download the game from Xbox Live if the game is already installed from the disc.

    Can my friend get his save file on my USB for me to use on my account?

    just borrow the game off your friend and install it on your hard drive,then you can play it using your disc. It worked for me when i scratched a disc , it wouldn't load past the start screen, i installed it off a friends disc then i could play again as it
    only reads the disc to check you have the correct disc in the drive
