Borderlands DLC help

    I went to a friends house last night and I just brought my HDD with me so we could play some borderlands. He has no internet so it was going to be offline, however we got a message saying some of the DLC was corrupted.

    We just tried to play the main game but it was real slow. I checked when I got home and I could play the DLC on my console no problems and no speed issue.

    Basically, what the...? If I was using MY HDD in both consoles why couldn't we play the DLC? and why was the game slow?

    I'd assume that the DLC was tied to both the Gamertag and the console, although more strictly than normal. Usually, if you do what you did, it'll work fine on another console once you're signed in on the profile that you bought it on. The problem could be that you needed to be signed into Xbox LIVE...

    Not sure why it was slow. Maybe his console was overheating?

    It was my HDD, so it was my profile I was using. So your saying it could be tied to the console itself?

    I don't think so, its kept in a cool well ventilated area.

    The rights to any DLC you own is tied to the console you download it on also.
    The only way you can use your dlc on another console even when signed into your own profile is when you're signed into Xbox Live. The DRM on the Xbox can be quite annoying but that's just the way it is.

    Not sure why you were getting slow downs. Could be any number of things.

    Thanks. I'll just have to bring my whole console the next time.
