XBLA Games only showing as 'Full Versions' when online

[Dellage]

As above really, since swapping my xbox over for a new one earlier in the month due to the good old RLOD, if I'm not connected to live I can only play the trial versions of my XBox Live Arcade Games...

Suspect this is because I downloaded them to my last console and they're somehow tied to that even though I'm using the old hard drive.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to sort this out? Not a massive hassle if not, but it's kind of annoying and the Mrs got annoyed the other night when she couldn't play the full version of Boom Boom Rocket to try and beat her high scores

Cheers all

Erm, I thought that the purchase was tied to the machine, and not the hard drive. Its either that, or its tied to your xbox live account, but then that wouldn't make sense as you've said they are trials.

Have a look in your download history if its still there and you can download it again.

Yeah they are tied to your machine, nothing you can do about it apart from ensure you're always signed in to Live when you want to play them.

Very strange idea of microsoft, you'd have thought it would either be fine to play them or just wouldn't let you play them at all.

Pah, will just have to make sure I'm online all the time then... Might try deleting one of the ones I don't play and seeing if it lets me download it again for free (I'm right in thinking that you can download previously downloaded games for nothing aren't I?), if it does I'll just re-download them all over time.
