hey all,

I am about to go to visit a friend this weekend and he finally just purchased a 360, (you know the story got to talk your wife into first....trick them with a few family games, then instead of viva pinata, buy halo, cod, and goW)

Anyway he really wants to play rockband, so since I got a new Memory unit (64) during the TRu madness sale, I was thinking of taking my save game over there.

I have unlocked every track, plus I have a few DLC that I want to take as well.

So my question is, what do I need to copy to the Memory unit?? I figure my gamertag, and the rockband save file?

Then once I get to his house how do I copy that info over so that we can play using his gamertag and mine, as well as the DLC???

thanks guys.....

If you have a hard drive you could just bring that over. I guess you don't have an hdd, you can take your GT and game saves, but not your down loaded song.

BTW, I do have a hdd, it just my wife still has her gamertag and stuff on it, and she will want to play uno and viva pinata while I am gone, so I really dont want to take that away from her.

thanks

Bump, I am also curious how this would work. Can you bring your DLC for Rock Band to another 360 via a memory unit?

I'm wondering about this too. I have a girlfriend and her son that play the XBox while I am at a friends yet I want to use my DLC while I am at my friends. They need the harddrive to play so can anyone confirm is MAYBE there is a way to redownload songs on a different 360 with just a gamertag?

For the TC: Put your wife's stuff on the memory card and you take the HDD, you probably won't be able to fit all the DLC onto a mem.card Then once your at his place I'd just either recover his GT, or maybe he has a memory card?

I don't think that you can redownload something by just having a GT, I'd imagine they keep track of either the IP it's on or maybe even a consoles number. Otherwise there'd be a whole piracy flaw where people would just trade GT's to play arcade games and to get other DLC things.

Well that wouldn't really be a problem because you need to be in the GT that downloaded them and it is console specific. They don't work if the GT is not present and you are not online. So that is why I am asking is it possible to jsut take my GT over and redownload the songs for free. I know when I leave the songs will no longer work but I don't care since I only mean to use it during visits anyway.

No I understand what you're saying BUT what I'm saying is that if they made it so you can just redownload with a GT people would share one GT, download what they want and then transfer it onto a memory unit. The songs do work if you're not online as do some XBLA games, I can personally confirm this since sometimes I don't go onto Live

So basically my only option is to either take my Xbox or just the HDD.
