Holla peeps, I am in a small predicament and would very much like some opinions. I downloaded GTA San Andreas off of XBOX live, works fine. My friend, who doesn't have access to xbox live asked me if it would be ok to put his HDD into my console and download it, which we did. However it doesnt work on his console.

I understand that there is an issue with licensing here, which I foolishly didn't check out before hand. I was wondering if there is a way to enable him to play the game offline on his console? And is there a way that will still let me play offline on mines? I would very much appreciate some input.

Thanks.

I think it has to be tied to the gamertag you bought it with. So you have to have him use your gamertag too. I might be wrong though.

Naw, because basically what you are trying to do is pirate the game.(no offence) MS tends to frown on such activities.

How pirate the game? I bought one copy for my account, and bought a separate copy for his.

the way it works is. The console you bought DLC for any account can use it on that console but if you go out and download it again on other console. ONLY your gamer tag will work. SO this is to prevent people giving stuff free to friends... THERE your answer. Theres way around it but not going say what because you then abusing the system.

Why do you want to give something to your friend that you paid for, anyways? He needs to shell out the dough for his own.

in short ... no ... sorry but you should really have asked yourself "would MS really let me get this for nothing so easily?" and that would have been your answer

Your post says you d/loaded it for him on your console. It doesn't say anything about buying it twice. How did you make a 2nd purchase? You couldn't have on your GT. Did you use someone else's? Just d/loading something again does not equate to a 2nd purchase.
