Playonline registration codes and Xbox 360

[Spoony Bob]

A bouncing baby xbox 360 is the big hub-bub in the house recently and the lack of more frustrating things to do has got my brother interested in FFXI for the umpteenth time. He's looking to pick it up for the 360 because it's packaged with both Cop and ToAU all together mainly and I'm curious about how the registration codes for everything is packed in the Xbox 360 version.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the registration codes for the PC version he got together with the codes for the expansions that come with the 360 version together, just leaving the codes for the original game+Rise of the zilart that come with the 360 copy unused . I think I remember hearing something about the reg codes being connected all together on the console versions and I'm hoping someone around has first hand experience in the matter.

Also, is there any way to check if character data is deleted without reactivating the content ID? The official info in the POL viewer still says 3 months but of course everyone has their 'still there in just under a year' stories. Just wanting to make sure.

I play on the 360 and PC and your CD keys are tied to your POL ID. So if your POL ID has the all the expansions then all you need to do is install FFXI on your 360 and tie a POL ID to your Live account. Only one POL ID can be attached to a Live and account and you can not undo it. Alternatively if you had CoP and RoZ on an old POL account and then start back up on the 360 with the same account you will only need to enter a cd key for ToAU.

You can use the registration codes for an expansion with any version of the game. For instance, my PS2 FFXI code has a PC CoP registration code and a 360 Aht Urgan code.

And yeah, your PoL ID gets locked onto your xbox live sign in, so make damn sure its tied to either his XBLive account or a dummy one in case you want to ever put another account on your own.

Yep, my PS2 and PC have all the expansions, so when I bought the 360 version of the game, my brother used his friends PC install disc's and the codes from my 360 to get a full version of the game.

From what I've read, only case where this doesn't work is when the keys are from a different region-copy of FFXI.
