Xbox 360 DRM Fixed!!!!! [UPDATE: Not very well!]

Posted under Cheat, Games, INFECTEDPB503, Nintendo, P*N World Cup, Xbox Live Arcade, Zune by kemanswar

Guess what folks, the DRM issue has just been fixed. You can now go to Xbox.com and transfer your license to your new Xbox 360. For more info head over to majornelson.com for all the info you need. I’ll be doing this to my new elite as soon as I get home.

Yippee

MAJOR’s BULL SH*T Video on how to do this is HERE!

[UPDATE]

This is, INFECTEDPB503, here with a first hand report of how well this works!  And guess what…

It’s another BULL S*IT move by Microsoft!

As I been told numerous times, by everyone, I am a 360 fanboy (shh.. its is the better system so…).  And when this was announced I hailed it as the end to the only other complaint on the 360.  As the “Red Rings” as been fixed DRM was the only other issue that Sony Fanboys had as ammo against the 360.

So as you can see by the video above you goto Xbox.com and click a couple links.  This transfers all liscences to your primary Xbox 360, of your choosing.  The issue arrises in the next step…

You have to goto this 360 and RE-DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING!  Sure this is no issue for someone who just bought a 360, who would not need to use this tool, but for someone, like me, who has had their 360 SINCE LAUNCH this is going to take FOREVER to do.

When I did the transfer I had 1200+ game licenses and 180+ video licenses.  Sure I am not going to re-download everything (some items are not needed or available anymore) but I have over 50gbs of DLC on my HD at the moment includeing: 60+ arcade games and over 50 hours of TV Shows.  To re-download all this would be insane (given we can only do six at a time).

Not to mention the bandwidth this would take.  What if you are one that has a “cap” on how much content your can download a month?  Yet again this is just Microsoft trying to “calm the roar” of gamers everywhere that are having DRM issues and while this may fix this issue this should not be considered the “final fix” or people/gamers will just stop downloading items from MS.

This is one case were this fanboy can say

SONY GOT DRM RIGHT!

  1. Mr B4 Said,

    It is nice to see this finally happening, but honestly, i do not play half of the arcade that i had before i got the red rings, so it really is not going to do much for me in a matter of speaking.

  2. INFECTEDPB503 Said,

    This is the 3rd DRM fix there is. And I hope the Sony fanboys will finally quite using this as an excuse to get 360. They were to lazy to do the other options and this I hear takes about 5-10 to complete, depends on how much dlc you have.
    So RROD is fixed, DRM is fixed. The 2 biggest complaints on 360 are fixed! Yippie!

    Infected, do you really get hassled that much by PS3 Fanboys? I own one, and I love mine but to be honest, it doesn’t hold a candle to my 360. Granted, I am on my 3rd 360 due to RROD. Here’s a quote to live by for both 360 and PS3 Fanboys: “I play games, not consoles.”
