Title: Xbox Live Question
Post by: Rman on April 26, 2008, 11:20:58 AM
I've been wanting to finish up WTM in Rock Band with my cousin for a while.  Since you can't play WTM online, I usually lug my ass to his apartment.  However, even though my gamer profile is saved on his 360, I always have to recover my profile.  When I later go to log into my 360 at home, I then have to recover my gamer profile as well.  Why isn't they game profile cached in both systems permanently? It's really annoying to have recover my profile all the time when moving between two different systems?  Does anyone know what's up with this?

Huh?

You mean they can't reside in two 360s without having to recover the profile?

if your profile is Xbox Live enabled, you can only keep it on one console... it makes sense since someone could potentially use your account locally on their box and enjoy all the XBLA stuff you purchased -- you'd be able to do the same thing at home.  which is a no no in microsoft's evil empire.

Oh, Microsoft.

I wish their was an option to keep your account in multiple 360s, and only authorize your own 360 to keep all your arcades games and dlc.  I just want these damn achievements.

yeah, but then people would bitch about them getting tied to one console.  microsoft is screwed either way as far as DRM the way I see it.

Get a Memory Card, problem solved

Also, every time you recover your profile, it negates your saves... like it doesnt identify them anymore for some reason. That may have been fixed, but people have been reporting tons of issues with saves.

So, I'd use a memory card for my machine like Groo and hyp mentioned?  And keep my profile on the other xbox?

No, keep the profile on the memory card and leave it in your machine, or take it with you.

yeah, but I've never seen it so bad...it felt like there was more lag then when I was playing the COD4 beta 20 minutes after the servers were cut off and it was randomly kicking people off.  it really sucked going back to 2-player split screen.
