    Help!!

    I recently got a new 360 and transferred all my data from old HDD to the new HDD with the transfer cable. I just tried to play trials HD and it basically told me to unlock the full game and wanted 800 MSP's for the privilege. I went into the Account settings on the new console and did the transfer licenses thing to no avail...it still wants me to unlock the game

    Someone please tell me I'm missing something obvious and I can get sentimental and play me some HD while I still got a buzz on.

    Not too sure mate, although it does raise the question of why you didnt just put the old HDD onto the new xbox?

    You need to transfer the licenses from the old console. Call support and they can do it over the phone or direct you how really easily. I can't remember off the top of my head. Somewhere in the system option on the dashboard.

    Joe's already said he did that, but maybe something didnt work? I've not had to do it for ages, so I cant even remember the steps tbh.

    Are you connected to Xbox Live? It will prompt you to download the full copy of the game if you're playing offline on a console that wasn't originally used to download the game. After you transfer the license, you have to re-download the full game onto the new Xbox (even though it's currently on the hard drive).

    Try MS Support Chat, they always help fix my problems. Always.

    Last issue I had was with a new xbox, and they set their system to re-assign all my rights to the next xbox I downloaded the games to.

    They said I was limited to doing this once a month (or something, to prevent abuse).

    Here's a link for US support, chat option is at the bottom.

    Good luck
