Can You Transfer Gears of War 2 Maps via Memory Card Between Xbox 360s?

No. Gears of War 2 map packs (DLC) are **licensed to your Xbox Live profile AND the original console** (the "console license"). They cannot be moved via Memory Unit / USB stick.

How Xbox 360 DLC Licensing Works

  • Profile License: Tied to purchasing Gamertag. Allows *you* to use content on *any* console **while signed in to Xbox Live**.
  • Console License: Tied to the **first console** that downloaded the content. Allows *any profile on that console* to use content **offline**.

To Use Maps on a Second Xbox 360

  1. Sign in with the **purchasing Gamertag** on the second console.
  2. Connect to **Xbox Live**.
  3. Go to **Download History** (Settings → Account → Download History) → Re-download the map packs.
  4. Now you can play them **while signed in online**.

To Play Offline on Second Console

  • You must perform a **License Transfer** (once every 4 months):
    • On purchasing account: Settings → Account → **License Transfer** → Follow prompts.
    • This moves the **Console License** to the current console.
    • Then re-download content on that console to refresh local licenses.
  • After transfer, *any* profile on that console can play maps offline.

Memory Unit / USB Stick Use

  • **Only for:** Game saves, profiles, themes, gamerpics, dashboard updates.
  • **Cannot store:** DLC packages (`.dlc` / `.xip` files are encrypted per-console).

If the second console is yours permanently, do the License Transfer. If temporary, just sign in online each session.
