So, I'm interested in using my Mass Effect 2 DLC that's for the PC onto my 360.  The computer I've been using is pretty much finished.  However, I don't want to pay for all of the DLC I already have...

Basically, I'm wondering if my Cerberus network account lets me download the DLC I already had for the PC, or if it's a seperate deal and I'd have to buy all of the DLC again when I go on my Xbox.

Sorry for the english, not my first language.

Thanks for the help!

Define what you mean by 'dlc'; i.e., what content you are including with that term.

As I understand it, it is supposedly possible to use the Cerberus Network (and hence its associated dlc) across the PC and 360. Go into your registered game promos tab and look at the 'more info' tab; the pop-up should mention that and I think there's a guide telling you how to achieve that. I will say in advance that I have not tried it so I do not know how the procedure works.

I do not think the other dlcs 'transfer' in the same way, but I will suggest you check the 'more info' tab (if there is one) to see what it says there.

Additional: your English wasn't that bad and is understandable. It makes more sense than some posts around here by those whose first language is English (mine included...though technically English isn't my first language either).

Bioware forces you to buy it again when changing platforms.

Soooo... Can I AT LEAST use my current (PC) Cerberus Network Account when (NOT if!) I buy a copy of ME2 for my 360? I was really hoping I wouldn't have to buy any of my DLC over again (I'm only missing Arrival and Alternate Appearance Pack II), but it sounds like that isn't an option... Hey, BioWare & EA! You've already GOT a whole LOT of my gaming money (M.E. 1&2 for PC, ME 1 for 360, Dragon Age 1 & 2...) Why can't you release the ME 2 DLC for multiple platforms, like the Signature Edition DLC I have for DA 2?

I think the answer is yes for some content
Go here and your answers shall be given: http://social.biowar...ntitlements.php
(Note that you may have to link your XBL GamerTag to your EA Account if you have not done so already.)

As I understand it all free and promo items should be unlocked across both platforms. This includes everything from the Cerberus Network as well as any promo items (Collector's Edition, Pre-order items, Dr. Pepper Items, etc)

However, any DLC that you need to specfically pay for, you would need to pay for again on XBL to access it. This includes:
  • Alternate Appearance Pack 1 & 2
  • Kasumi - Stolen Memory
  • Equalizer Pack
  • Overlord
  • Aegis Pack
  • Firepower Pack
  • Shadow Broker
  • Arrival

No, you can't - you need to either buy a new copy (at $20, it's what, $2 more than the used version?) and register the code, or pony up the $10 for a code. if you buy used

Umm... your preorder stuff is multiplatform, but the Signature Edition content shouldn't be. At least, I'm only seeing the Signature Edition rewards show up on the Entitlements page for 360, not for everything.

As for "why" - they probably don't want to pay MS/Sony their cut if they don't have to.
