Xbox LIVE Marketplace

Premium Content

Q: Can I watch my premium content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on my friend's console?

A: No. Paid content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace is usable only on the Xbox 360 console to which it was downloaded.

Family Settings

Q: How can I prevent my children from buying things at Xbox Live Marketplace?

A: You can set your Family Settings in the Xbox Dashboard to prevent purchases. With Xbox LIVE Controls in place, all Xbox LIVE Marketplace items are displayed as usual, but anyone who attempts to buy something while signed in with a child profile will be unable to make a purchase.

For details, see Family Settings: Xbox LIVE Content.

Note

There is one exception to this rule: Purchases that are made with prepaid codes are allowed regardless of whether Family Settings are in place.


Other Activities

Q: Can I listen to music from my console while I visit Xbox LIVE Marketplace?

A: Yes! If you begin playing music as described in Listen to Music, your music will continue while you visit Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
