    Digital games on console question

    So, reading up about this, it seems the Xbox 360 DRM controls have changed now too, so either console you can change your home console every four months.

    Digital Rights Management | Xbox Licence Transfer | Xbox DRM - Xbox.com

    You don't need any kind of kit, just go to Xbox.com for your 360, or in the Xbox One dashboard and change your home console.

    The one difference I identify between the two systems is the console license on the 360 assigns to the console the game is first downloaded to, whereas the One, it's whatever your home console is regardless of where you download it.

    Hi there,

    I'm sorry to hear about your console woes. :/ My best advice would be to follow any troubleshooting steps on Xbox.com, or to search for any error codes here: Xbox Error Status Codes | Xbox Support

    I would advise you to make sure your console is in a well ventilated area, not blocked by anything, and that you consider using a compressed air can on and around the air vents every month, as part of general maintenance, to blow out any dust that may be
    causing issues. If you do have to send your console in, regrettably, there is not much else we can do, besides follow the steps to create a service order, via this page:
    Xbox One : Warranty and service

    Hope this helps get your console back up and running again.

    Sorry to hear about this. Luckily console warranties are put in place for a reason and usually cover repair costs and fixes when the warranty is intact, call 18004myxbox(18004699269) to check console warranty status.

    Hi CausalSpring6,

    What exactly are you attempting to accomplish by connecting your Xbox 360 console to your PC? Are you just trying to use the display? Is it a laptop? Desktop? All-in-one?

    Let us know the details, and we can go from there.

    If you're looking for a hub for the console your best bet would be to check your local gaming store or an online service such as Amazon. However, some external hard drives do have USB ports that you can connect other devices to as well.

    Be aware though that these devices will put a strain on the USB port that they are plugged into

    Hi KatrinaC,

    sorry to hear. You talking about the Classic XBOX? Reformatting the hard drive will remove all data on the memory unit, once that is complete you can run the "Initial setup" for the console found under the System Settings. Just be aware, if you wish
    to reformat the hard drive you will need the console's serial number and this can be found under "System Info", via the System Settings and then console settings.

    Hope this helps and please keep us informed

    Hi Katrina,

    To do a factory rest of the console try these steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.
    3. Select Reset console.

    1. On the Reset your console? screen, you'll see three options:
      • Reset and remove everything. This option resets the console to factory settings. All user data, including accounts, saved games, settings, home Xbox associations, and all games and apps will be deleted. You should use this option when selling
        or gifting the console to someone else. You should only use this option as a last resort in some troubleshooting cases.
      • Reset and keep my games & apps. You should use this option as your primary choice when troubleshooting. It will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps. This will save you from downloading
        or reinstalling the large game files. In some cases, if a corrupt game file is causing the issue you're troubleshooting, you may have to choose Reset and remove everything, but you should always start with Reset and keep my games &
        apps         and save Reset and remove everything as a last resort.
      • Cancel. To back out of this screen, simply select the Cancel button. No action has been taken at this point. This is a safe exit from this screen.
