Well, QuesoNova, do you still use the XBOX, or the XBOX 360? If you do have the XBOX and you do have premium purchase and you do have a correct credit card on file that is valid and you are still not able to download it and get no other messages then, well,, your problem will be new to us. Most of use are having two major issues.


1. Most of us are having Premium Purchase not enabled.....This is for those who migrated their account to the XBOX 360 without having thought off (Yeah, like we new, right) changing it back to Premium Purchase before mirgrating our accounts to the XBOX 360.

2. Others are having download errors. I think the problem for this is becuase of the mass downloading and the servers cant handle it. I think the best bet for people with this problem is to simply wait, or keep trying. Frankly, I'd rather have this problem that the Premium Purchase problem.

and the rest of us.... misc. problems...... credit card expired, etc...........

Re: Premium Content is Disabled error on Xbox 360

I've tried going back to my original Xbox, per support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906922 you cannot use the Xbox account management after you've migrated to 360. I have my old one and you get the technical difficulties error.

I think it will work if you create a new account and download it that way. Bungie said that the content is tied to the machine, not the account. You can use someone else's account to download it, and it will continue to work on that machine. I tried another account I have (also from Xbox) and it did the same thing. Seems it has to be a brand new one.

PEOPLE JUST COMING IN: Do not just say "yeah, I'm having that problem too." There are several known problems and it helps if you tell us what's wrong.

These maps have been a shine on the horizon for my Halo 2 experience and now i get home, pester my dad to let me download them and wham, premium purchase not enabled. Kudos to microsoft for making it impossible to enable them on 360, congratu--blam!--lations. i have no problem with bungie as this isn't their fault so anyone complaining about bungie should just shut up TBH. But yeah, severely dissapointed.

Thlayli, if you try creating a new account and if it works let me know. The thing is , I dont want to create a new account...... Becuase if I do I am going to have to input my credit card info into it, and then delete my account....... Can we even delete our accounts........The answer is no, it just expires and is lost into the thousands of gamertags that have gone to gamertag heven

  • 04.17.2007 4:00 PM PDT

When i put the credit card as my payment options in the dashboard so i can buy the maps will it not only buy the maps but also renew my xbox live account after it expires? Cause i dont want to buy my membership with a credit card i only want to buy the maps with the credit card. I want to buy my membership with a prepaid card so my moms credit card wont be charged on each month.

Please help me. thanks.

Nah Spartan, once you get through all the problems, and if you are lucky to download the pack, simply go back into the menu and delete your credit card.....But maybe M$ wont let you and then yes, your mom will have to pay with her credit card...... does your account expire anytime soon? Dude at this point.......go by your gut feeling. All these months to prepare and well this is what we get........... Can you imagine what would of happened if not time would of been put on these new halo 2 release maps..........

Ok, right now I'm pretty pissed. I have tried to download the maps but i have a prepaid card account. I go to account management and go to payment options and add credit card, i really have a visa debit gift card since i'm only 17 and it won't work even though bungie says it should, oh and my parents won't let me use their credit cards, so i get why they set it up this way but what i don't get is why they also couldn't have made it on the market place too. I remember bungie saying that at first only xbox 360 owners could download the map but i guess they lied.

ok guys, here is my new problem, I finally got it to start actually downloading, but it does it little by little, then gives me the Installation of Content was failed, so I have to go press it again and it starts at where it left off but...it would take forever to do it this way...any suggestions, or does anyone have this same problem?

I love how everyone is complaining about not being able to download the maps. Guess what? My halo 2 CD no longer works after the introduction of the new maps. First i got a message saying that this original xbox game is not backwards compatible, there may be an update blah blah blah. Then, after trying several hours back later I'm getting a message saying this orginal Xbox game has encountered a problem blah blah blah. I tried to call Microsoft for the errors, but all i got was a robot and i had to wait for over 45mins on hold.

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

yeah this is retarded. are you guys saying im gonna have to get a regular xbox and set it to allow premium content from there?

are there any other options besides creating a new tag if your console isnt set up for premium content and you have migrated to 360?

the problem with the 360 and the premium content also affects people who use a original xbox but have their xbox live account connected to xbox.com to make it a gold account... like me it sucks.... :(

How about we ask MS to let Bungie put it on Xbox Live Arcade on the 360 for MS points. This would save a lot of stress from having to add a new credit card and still give access to original Xbox owners.

doesnt look like it. Perhaps if you transfer your account back to the original xbox, but seems like someone tried it and said it didnt work a few pages back so we are completely screwed. Unless we call 1-800-4MYXBOX, perhaps they can change it directly..... dunno

The pistol is no hoax, and there's a death barrier above the map to prevent super jumps, etc.

Also, the pictures of the H1 pistol in H2 are here


How exactly do you get this easter egg?




You can't, that fricken piece of crap just Hacked the brand new map.
