I've  gotten the question quite a bit recently, so I thought it a good time to point out that if your console was serviced by Microsoft, and your DRM licenses were not moved, you can do it yourself by following the steps shown on this Xbox.com web page.

  1. Attach your hard drive or memory unit.
  2. Turn on the console.
  3. Sign in to Xbox LIVE with the gamer profile that originally downloaded the content.
  4. Go to Xbox LIVE Marketplace and select Account Management, Download History.
  5. Select an item and then select Download Again.
  6. Repeat step 5 for each item in your download history.

So, before you throw eggs at me, yes - I understand that the folks who purchase every single XBLA title, and every theme will have to do this over 100 times.

We read the forums, we read the comments.  Despite being called unresponsive and foolish, we do hear you, and we do listen.

We're always trying to take away as much of the DRM complication as we can.   It isn't the easiest or the best solution, but it's a step in the right direction.

The image “http://www.thundarr.com/thundarr/title.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

We should have more to share with you all in the near future.  Which, by the way, is closer and less post-apocalyptic than the future depicted in Thundarr the Barbarian.
