Here's some random stuff I do know.
- On my machine, I have 2 SN's (e3NiNe2 & e3NiNe3). e3NiNe2 purchased everything on XBL. e3NiNe3 has access to what #2 purchased. This means that downloads are purchase per machine, not user name.
- I unstrapped my 120GB HDD and brought it over to the girlfriends to play Castle Crashers. When I connected the HDD, the content was there, but the game saves weren't. My L50 knight was nowhere to be seen. Also, my Braid data was gone.
Without the matched system / hard drive, the XBox will not carry over any saves. It will start new ones for sure though. I started a new game of Castle Crashers, came home to see that my L50 never returned. I didn't play Braid at the GF's. When I looked at that, everything was still there.
- When your XBL expires, you lose the rights to play online. You're demoted to a "silver" grade account which gives you access to the download store. You can still purchase and download for your machine, but you cannot play online.
