| Can I have the same Xbox LIVE account on two different consoles?
I usually play at my dad's house which is where I had set up my Xbox LIVE account to play online and all that jaz, but my own Xbox at my mom's isn't connected to the internet yet cuz I'm still hunting for a cheap wireless adapter. So I'm wondering if when I do get my Xbox connected if I can still play my LIVE account here as well as at my dad's, that way I won't have to pay for a whole seperate account since Microsoft is just out to get our money.
Ask for me to rephrase anything if that seems confusing at all... ._. |

You have two seperate Xbox consoles?
I believe you'll need to transfer your account from the one at your dad's house to the one at your mom's, and then vice versa when you go from your mom's to your dad's. It would be easier just to take the original Xbox with you from place to place.

| Just take your hard drive with you.... Or when when you get your other xbox online you can download your profile to another console. The plus side of taking your HDD with you is that you have all your saved games.
Although you cannot use both profiles at the same time.

You can keep your profile on each console.....
Both consoles need to be kept online to update each other with new achievements etc..... (So if one console is not online it wont be as up to date with the one that is online and vice versa.
Also only your profile will be downloadable not your saved games you will need to take those on the hard drive or memory card. | |
