    n00b question on switching from pc to xbox360

    Hi guys! A friend of mine has a FFXI account, created and played with the pc version of the game.

    Now he's got a xbox360, and he'd like to switch to it, because his pc is very old and slow.

    He asked me to find if there's a (legal, obviously) way to get a client to play on xbox360 with his account without buying a new copy of the game and wasting the codes.

    (Some years ago when xbox came out in shops, i've seen a free trial of FFXI on a promo DVD given with the xbox official magazine.. maybe does still exist something like this? and can it be used with a normal account?)

    Please let me know, thanks ^^

    It's $20 for the 2008 collection... I know that's still $20 bucks.. but.. still it's $20.

    Aside from that.. wouldn't anyone's used 360 version work to install the software? Then he could just input his PC info. (I think all you need is your sign in info?).

    Yes, you should be able to use any copy of the game for XBOX360 to install it. Since you already have the account created on PC, all you'll need to do is enter your information as you connect with the 360.

    Ok, now the hardest question.. my friend hasn't WotG

    If he buy Vana'diel Collection 2008 for Xbox360 (because he doesn't know anybody with an used copy to lend), can he use the registration code of WotG on his own account? (at least it would be as if he buyed the expansion)

    Yep, that's how it works.

    So he would install everything. Register WOTG and log in with his PC account info.

    Oh, and buy a USB keyboard for the 360 if he doesn't have one already.

    Fixed, and you also have to have a FFXI disc in the 360 to start POL Viewer.

    Actually the new dashboard eliminates this requirement, at least in the beta.

    I've heard the 2008 collection uses a unified registration code, so he probably can't do that.

    It does, but it works anyway. I bought FFXI+Zilart on release, then CoP + TAU expansions on their own. Rather than buy WOTG separate I bought the Vana-collection 2008 to have it all in DVD form, and you can use the single code it has to register one or multiple expansions. Its kinda a waste, but meh. It works

    Nice to hear that. And nice to hear you can use a code within xbox360 version for an account created with pc version 8)

    Fyi:

    Wireless keyboards when used with the 360 has low radius, so make sure it's either a damn good one or you're not trying to be halfway across the room.

    I have noticed this, just moved my receptor to a lower area more on level with where I sit and it helped alot, but still pissed me off.

    Have you actually used the new beta? Because it still requires the disc to be in to verify that you own it, though it won't read any data from it past that.
