I have to pay for DLC that I already paid for two years ago?
I am not really much of a console gamer (I am more into PC gaming) so I haven't touched my Xbox 360 in two years. I got an itch to play Red Dead Redemption again, so I dug the console out of my closet. I know that I paid for the Undead Nightmare DLC because I played it two years ago. Now though it is asking me to pay for it again in order to re-download it. WTF?

I think that in the past, I've been able to just choose an item from download history. It'll say "Download Again?" and then it downloads it free. As long as you're still using the same account you bought it with, I can't think of why it wouldn't let you do the same.

I found the Download History tab, and while other things I have downloaded show up there, Undead Nightmare does not. This is weird. I know that I bought and played through that DLC two years ago. I am still using the same account.

I haven't played it yet but isn't the Undead Nightmare on disc and if so could you have played it on that and just forgotten?

I am 100% positive that I didn't have any disc for that DLC. I never sold any of my discs, so I didn't just sell it and forgot about it.

Did you check both the Undead Nightmare pack and the Undead Nightmare collection?

If you go to your xbox live account online, go to My Account> Device Management> Download History. I don't think there's a way to download from there, but it should at least show the transaction as proof if you call later to get it to download again. Mine shows exhaustive detail, including updates and trailers, so your previous purchase should be on that list.

Have you checked the achievements for Red Dead Redemption? If none of the Undead achievements are there, then it's a false memory.

I thought you meant you had gone to your account on the XBox itself rather than on your computer, which gives far more detail. My list gave me a frightening glimpse into how i've spent my time the last few years.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it on the computer. Undead Nightmare doesn't show up, but it does show one "Unknown Title" that isn't a clickable link. That's interesting. Now that I think about it, the DLC is now called a "pack". Was perhaps the original standalone version removed and replaced by this pack?

I would contact MS. They ought to be able to run that down.
There are two different downloads available. "Undead Nightmare Pack" and "Undead Nightmare Collection". The collection bundles another pack with it.
