Do you lose downloaded games if you delete your gamertag?

Question

I am planning to sell my 360 and i don't want the buyer to use my gamertag. If i was to wipe the 360 hard drive clean and get a new 360 in the future, would all the games I have downloaded (like UNO or Braid) be gone? Would I have to buy them again?

Answer 1

nah because when you delet your profile it asks you if you want to delete profile and items or just the profile!!!

Answer 2

Downloaded games from Xbox Live have what is called digital rights management (DRM).  This prevents them from being distributed, but also can be a hassle for situations like your own.  Before you sell your 360, you can transfer your digital licenses from your 360 to the Xbox site (see link below).  After you get a new 360, you can download those licenses from the site to your 360's HDD.

However, I do not know how long they will remain on the site (retention period).  I would suggest looking at this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/system...

i think so because you have them stored on that specific Hard Drive
