Buying games with Microsoft Points.

[Guest]

I am thinking of buying the upcoming Lost and Damned DLC for GTAIV. I have two Xbox 360 live accounts (same Xbox), and I want to be able to play it on both. If I download/buy it on one account, will I still be able to play it on the other account as well without having to buy it again?

why do you have two accounts? While I don't own a 360 I think that the purchases are tied into your account you buy it on (like Steam).

I have a Gold account and a Silver Account for backup.

You must buy it on both accounts. DLC is linked to accounts not consoles

Actually I'm 99% sure that's incorrect. You will be able to play it on both accounts, but you will only be able to access online stuff (e.g. multiplayer, content, etc.) on the Gold account.

*It'll obviously have to be purchased on your Gold account, but let me check and see if Shivering Isles and Operation Anchorage work on my Silver account for you.

Will post results shortly. Apologize if I'm wrong.*

I tried all eleventy-billion Oblivion expansions AND Operation Anchorage on my Silver account and I was prompted to start all of the missions that came with the content.

So, as far as I can tell, you only need to download it on one account. All other accounts will then have access to the offline content and, to my knowledge, there are no new online options that come with L&tD.

Sorry, just to confirm. So I could download it onto my Silver and still be able to play on Gold?

edit: I just checked some other sites and found some confirmation that I could buy DLC on a Silver account.

I've just always bought my content on my Gold but yeah I hear that works.
