So i had a gamertag that MS deleted the windows live ID to so i could no longer uprgrade my account to gold after my card ran out. Thus i made a new tag. All of our old save files were on the original tag so thats were we dowload any DLCs like the Pitt. Does this mean that only the original gamertag can use the DLCs or can i play that content on my other profiles as well?

hey, correct me if im wrong nayone please, but i beleive you can copy the saves and everything over once you hacve signed into your new account but you acnt earn achievements while playing on them, i think it is the same for any DLC... not 100% sure though, so there could be a better answer coming lol

Any account on that console can use the DLC. Only the original account can download it, though. You'd need to pay to download it with another gt.

I don't understand why you can't renew your gold membership? You can just do it via marketplace on your console. It's how I do it. My card is attached to my gamercard. I don't even have a windows live account I don't think.

i guess i was wrong about the DLC then lol, but i know you do need a windows live ID, you can use any e-mail to sign up for your GT and the xbox registers it as a windows live id, so you can use MSN and things like that :).... is there anyway you can renew your GT have you tried ringing MS? i know i had to ring them when i had problems with my GT

If the current xbox you have is the one you created your original gamertag on then all profiles should have access to DLC automatically. However, if you've ever had an RROD or bought yourself a new system and are just using the original hard drive, then you would have to do a liscence transfer of all the DLC to the current system (you can do that on xboxlive somewhere). Once all the liscences for your DLC gets associated with your current xbox's serial number, then you should be able to use your DLC automatically across gamer tags.

As far as the save files go, I think you CAN copy them to your other profile. You might need a memory stick to do it though (copy from HD to memory stick then back to HD under a new profile). But I'm pretty sure, as the other poster said, you can't earn achievements on those copied save files. Anyways, this part I've never tried for myself, so not entirely sure.

I got a prepaid card to upgrade my account again. It had been silver for about two months. I entered the code about 20 times a day for 3 days and each time it said account could not be located. I poked around online and read that Live deletes some IDs with dormant emails thus terminating your live account. thats why i needed a new GT
