A Different Xbox On Live!, 2 or 3 xbox's on same live account Options

[ThePudster]

Hi.

I've searched for ages trying to find the answer to this one.

I've got 3 xbox's (1 in the living room, used more as a media machine, 1 in bedroom, used for games, and 1 in my home office, used for solid games and XBL.)

The office box has a stock HDD with a X2.6 (I like the hard switch option of this chip, I know when it's off) and has an xbl account on for playing halo 2, the one in my living room has all the usual bells and whistles, X3, Control Panel, 200Gb HDD and has never been on live.

What I was wondering is could I setup the xbl account on the one downstairs as well as the one in my office, I mainly play halo 2 in my office, but would sometimes like to play it on xbl on the one in my living room, but never at the same time, would I get banned if xbl saw 2 xbox's on one account (but never at the same time) but going from one to the other alternately.

Has anyone done this before, I know people can buy a new xbox and then use it on their existing xbl account, but has anyone then used their old xbox on the same account afterwards and not got banned......

I realise the usual precautions with the one downstairs (locked hdd, chip not on, etc) need to be taken.

Thanks in advance...

Hi all.

Just read this ( http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/live/acc-friends.htm ) on the M$ website, so assume it's ok to do this...

Could anyone please verify, as i really don't want to get banned.....

Thanks all..

You can safely put your account on all 3 xboxes... but you can't have more than 1 xbox online at a time (with same account).

I do it all the time... I have my account on 3 xboxes.

Thanks Alex548.

I thought this was the case, but these days, M$ ban you for that many things, I just wanted to check.

Thanks Again.

I have 2 xboxes but when I do an account recovery to move my account to xbox no. 2 the account on the first box flips out and won´t work no more.
The I have to do an account recovery again on that box to be able to play on it.
Is there a way around this without using a memory card?
How have u done to solve this ?

A memory card is the best way to do this.

As for doing it without one, I'm not sure. I tried using the save game manager in Craxtion to find my live account with no success.

memory card and account recovery are the only ways to move Live accounts around
