How do I choose which Xbox 360 my games download to?

MonkeyLogik · Dec 11, 2015

I have two Xbox 360's, both registered to my account. When I go to my purchase history I can add games to my download queue, but there isn't any way I can choose which console I want the game to go to. Right now they're all going to my older console, but
I'd like some of them to go to the new one. I presume I cannot have the same game on both consoles at the same time, and could understand if there was a need to transfer licenses from one box to the other if I was looking to move a game, but I have some games
that have never been on either device... I wouldn't expect there to be any problem there. Thanks!

Unlocking full game bought from the web

Hello,

i downloaded an XBLA demo on my 360. I liked the game so i decided to buy the full version. I bought the game from my PC but when i connect the 360 to Xbox Live i dont know how to unlock the demo. If i choose the "Unlock Full Version" option in the game
it asks me to choose between: "play now" or "download again". If i choose to "Download again" it starts to download the whole game. I've bought several XBLA games using my 360 and the unlocking takes just a few seconds. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

problem with the games with gold

I have a problem with the games with gold. I can download the Xbox One games on my Xbox One but whenever I try to download the free Xbox 360 games, it says buy for free and when i press it, it goes to a blue screen. Same with the Internet Explorer, it just
says go to the Xbox store and download it, which I obviously can't do.. I do not have a Xbox 360 in order to download the free Xbox 360 games with games with gold, so it can automatically pop up in my Install on the Xbox One. So my question is, "How do I download
the free Xbox 360 games without an Xbox 360?"

Hey, I think you're a little confused about license transfers.

Although your purchased content will automatically go to the console that is considered your main console (currently the older console) there is no limit as to how many consoles you can download it to and play it on. The only restriction is that it is linked
to your gamertag and cannot be played by other gamertag on any console except the main one. Only your tag would be able to access the games on the other consoles.

The only way to move the licenses to another console to enable others to play them would be through a license transfer. Otherwise you're good to go.

Alright if you can't then you can't. How do I choose where downloads go on my 360?

I'm excited to have a version of the game on a device that I choose to play video games on. And that many of my other gaming friends choose to use, an Xbox 360. I gather I can go get Minecraft right now on my Mac, right?

And even if I did, how do I convince my friends to do the same on their own PCs?

Since they know it'll be quick pick up & play download on the Xbox, more of my friends will be playing it.

It'll be fun to play for a bit in-between other great games.

Same problem here. Several month ago I could choose a game from my Xbox 360 games's list on https://account.xbox.com/ru-ru/MyGames?xr=socialtwistnav and my Xbox 360 console would download it. Now the list is misssing - there are only Xbox One and PC. This
list was very convinient - I had around hundreds of games there and I could filter the games I was interested on that moment, which is now very hard to do with only "purchased content" list. Please, Microsoft - bring that Xbox 360 list back - there are millions
of Xbox 360 fans around the world still interested.

Might anyone know how it is possible to remove (Detatch) my Xbox 360 Live account (which was never paid for) from my microsoft account? Oh, and I am prevented and cannot choose to click or open the green boxes labeled "account" or "privacy" from my xbox
360 dashboard, and how can I move my primary Email address that I use for everything which IS my microsoft account to a new "free" generated xbox gamer profile: ""Q1: How do I remove my xbox profile from my microsoft account which is my primary email?"" ""Q2:
How can I apply my Email/Micro-account for my new gamer profile without live or Email?"" Please..?
