    Want to download same game to two different consoles under two different gamertags


    Here is the scenario:

    Me (dad) has xbox live account and gamertag, but no console

    Son1 has his own xbox live account, gamertag, console

    Son2 has his own xbox live account, gamertag, console

    I have things set up so that I have to sign into my gamertag and make game purchases (so my credit card information isn't available to either son's gamertags). Normally, I sign in, purchase and download a game, logoff, sign into the gamertag of the son
    whose console I am using/buying the game for, and download the game to their gamertag.

    The problem I'm running into is that both Son1 and Son2 want the same game on each of their consoles. It is already purchased and downloaded onto Son1's console (using the method above). I'm willing to pay for the game again to get it onto Son2's console,
    but it won't let me. When I try to use the method above signing into my gamertag on Son2's console, I get a message that I have already purchased the game and asks me if I want to download again. If I choose that option and try to then download it to Son2's
    gamertag I get a message that the game cannot be accessed.

    How can I buy the game again? Do I need to delete it from my gamertag and then purchase and download it again? Will that impact the download to Son1s console?

    Thanks

    :)

    XBLA split screen on another console?

    You would need two different Gamertags [one on each Console] & two different downloads with content licences for each gamertag...

    same profile on two different consoles

    Hello,

    Your able to put your profile on multiple consoles. The only restriction is that same profile can only be signed in once regardless of where it's downloaded, so you can only use the profile on either Xbox and you won't have to download the profile again each
    time.

    Since you've already purchased the game under your gamertag, it is not possible for you to purchase it again. You would have to purchase it under one of your son's gamertag or purchase it on disc.

    Thanks for the responses. I ended up buying an xbox live gift card and he was able to download it onto his own profile using the card. I was hoping the solution was something I could work out via the console or online, but it doesn't seem to be possible.
