    A few months ago I got a new 360 from microsoft (after my 4th one broke). I am usually connected to net when playing & never have any problems. Yesterday I gave it to my brother, he doesn't have a broadband connection so had to play offline and he couldn't access GTA: the lost and the damned, any of the rockband songs that I've downloaded, any other dlc or play any avi's on it. When I tried it with broadband connected today, all this stuff worked for me fine. I brought it back to him & he had the same problem. He tried my profile and still had no luck. Does anyone know what's wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

    did you downloaded all the stuff once again when you got replacement console?

    Thats probably the reason, you would have to delete all the dlc, songs etc and download them again on the new console. Be careful, as you can move the licence only once a year!

    I'll get the xbox back tomorrow and try that. Thanks.

    i had the exact same problem.

    when all else failed (downloading it again etc) i contacted xbox support.

    the fix was to create a random xbox account and sign up to xbox live SILVER

    under the new account you download the optional media update again. after a reboot you will be able to watch all these videos again under any logon.

    Behold, the content transfer tool, you dont need to re-download everything!

    Can only be used once a year though!

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/

    Once you do use it, go to your download history, then re-download all the things you want (only takes a sec because you already have it!) and they will work while your offline, this also goes for your codec tool so you can play divx/mp4 files etc.....

    Only after erasing & re-downloading everything, did I I read this post. I needed to do this after the downloads because they didn't work. Everything working great now, thanks for the help.:)
