    Only have 12gb/month download allowance. Can I download elsewhere?


    This might sound a daft question, but is there any way to download the games I have purchased to an external device that can be used to install them to my xbox?

    I live in an area that can only support 3G mobile broadband and can only get 12gig a month. I do not want to have to take my Xbox to work as I travel on public transport, but do take my Surface.

    So is there a way of downloading the games to the surface/external hard drive/USB so that I can enjoy this great console.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    Annoying the way the updates take up way too much room on my drive

    Yeah, that's why I stopped playing. Wasn't going to download 12Gbs worth of updates every 4 months...

    How much data do you think you use, d/l each month?

    Usually over 100GB. Can't believe a few years ago when I only had 40GB allowance a month I didn't go over it considering how much I download and stream online.

    Sorry, but no. Xbox content can only be downloaded directly onto the console.

    will you buy the 720 still

    [quote user="Praetorian VIII"]So it's download only?

    I wonder if peoples ISPs would "not be bothered" if people were downloading 12Gb games every week. There's still a fair useage policy on internet downloading in the UK you know.

    [/quote]Never heard of steam?

    As a non-luddite, I would be more than happy to download all my games.

    Deals with Gold - discounted games

    Hey, I have pretty bad internet. It's the mobile broadband type which only allows me 15gb a month. If I confirm the two games (Halo & Max) this month and cancel it, then I can I download it at a later date or those it have to be this month. It's currently
    in the ready to install list.
