  1. Random Game Downloaded But Not Bought


    I logged online and I noticed that a game was downloading so I checked and saw that it was a game that I never bought. I opened my purchase history and saw that it wasn't there so I thought I had gotten a free game so I tried to play it and it said I didn't own it so I pressed manage and it said it was installed, so I pressed go to store and in the store it said that I could play it or buy it for $20. I pressed manage in the STORE and it said that it wasn't downloaded but the other still said I did. So my question is how did it get there and why can't I access it?

    :)

    Tough to stay all digital

    Just bought Wolfenstein from the game market place for $46.49 (??) random number...... the hard copy is still selling for $39.99, but for $6 more to download I felt that was ok.

    Random Games Downloading

    Was there any other accounts that you had on that console that you gave to your sister that you were sharing that had that console set as its home console (either your own account or maybe a friends account)?

    The only way that this would happen is if there was an account that had that console set as its home console (even doing a factory reset does not change which accounts have that console set as their home console). Whenever a console is set as an accounts
    home console and a game is purchased on that account and it is setup in the settings of the console to automatically update the console and games then any game that is purchased on any account that has that console set as its home console those games will
    automatically download to that console.

    I'll give you an example.

    Say the console is still set as your profiles home console and you purchase a new game and that consoles settings are set to automatically download updates and games then it would automatically download that new game to the console.

    You said that you did not purchase these games then their may be a possibility if you were sharing with a friend that had that console set as their profiles home console and either they never set another console as their profiles home console or the home
    console for the profile was not turned off on your sisters console.

    "Can't Download" error on two purchased games on Xbox 360 marketplace

    I just bought Thief and am trying to download it, I'm having the exact same problem. It will just stop downloading at random points and go back to 0% then back to what it stopped on, then a couple of minutes after doing this it will stop completely and come
    up with the message something along the lines of 'Cannot download game'. Luckily it continues downloading when I select 'download again' on the game options. It would just be nice to know what is causing this because it is pretty irritating.
