If you’re like me, you aren’t still on Xbox 360 #1. Hopefully, you aren’t on #9 like me. For those of us who’ve had the pleasure of the Red Ring of Death, Microsoft has released a DRM fix tool to make all your content licensed to your new console. That means all your add-ons, XBLA games, videos, etc will be usable on all profiles and both online and offline. Good stuff.
Check out the above below on how it works and then head over to xbox.com to get started. But here’s the problem, Major Nelson calls it “quick and easy”. You have to manually re-download every single item individually on your Xbox 360 after you run the tool to get the new license onto your 360. Say what now? I have over 75 pieces of content that I will need to download again, and that’s only counting the stuff I care about. Come on, Microsoft. It’s a step in the right direction, but couldn’t you make this a bit quicker and easier?
