DLC for someone else

[sgarry]

Hi all. My first time posting here, and I do so to ask for some help/guidance.

My 16-yr-old nephew loves the Beatles and his RB game; however, his Wii system is not hooked up to the Internet, so he can't download the new songs. For Christmas, I was going to work out with his parents a deal in which I would download the newer songs from my Wii system onto a memory card, and then they could wrap up the memory card and give it to him as a gift to open on Christmas morning. They are willing to pay for the tracks, so I'm not suggesting that I copy them illegally or anything.

Do you all think this can be done, or does the Wii prohibit me from sharing something that I've downloaded on my system with someone else? Merry Christmas!

Downloads are tied to the Wii they are downloaded onto. So this won't work. Your best bet is to get a Wii points card and get his Wii online somehow.

Since when? My brother and a few friends and I have traded all our downloaded Virtual Console games we have without any problem.

I'm curious about this also. I've got all the Beatles DLC on my SD and was hoping to take it to a friend's house this weekend to play and convince him to buy TB:RB.

Does anyone know for sure if it's possible?

Your best option is to buy a Wii points card (like a gift card) and let the kid download them on their own Wii. Wii points cards can be bought at Wal-Marts, Best Buys, Amazon.com, etc.

As a gift, you could givce him a points card then offer to let him bring his Wii to your house so he can download whatever he wants (within limits)?

Yeah, it doesn't work - I've tried it a couple times with no luck... I think the DLC is tied to the console, not the SD card...
