    Hi all. I wanted to ask if its possible to transfer DLC to a memory unit and use it another xbox. Reason why I'm asking is because I don't have broadband so I was thinking of downloading it from a friend's house then transfer it onto my xbox. Thanks.

    yep its possible.if you bring your hard drive to your friend's house and sign in on your Live account, anything you download will be saved to your hard drive...and when you plug that back into your own xbox, all the DLC will be there

    yes kev_s88 it will be their but wont work. It would show as a trial when he put hard drive back on his own xbox

    you'll have to bring your Xbox to your friends house. DLC is locked to the xbox it was bought on.
    If you bought it on your friends xbox with your gamertag you would only be able to play it on your xbox if you are signed into xbox live.

    Well, yeah, I'd buy it on my own live account but what I'm asking is it possible to transfer DLC to my memory unit then transfer it to my xbox HDD via my memory unit along with my account.

    It is not locked to an xbox but gamertag. But downloaded dlc (or any other dl'd content) is locked to the xbox it was downloaded on.

    You have to bring you Xbox with you, HDD or mem card is not enough.

    I've often got dlc on my own xbox and then used the hard drive in a different xbox and played the dlc. I'm always signed in to xbox live on the other xbox though so I don't know for sure if the dlc would work when you're not signed in.
