How Do I Unlock Xbox 360 Arcade Games That I Already Have Achievements For?

I recently traveled somewhere for a trip and decided to bring my X360. I had over 20 arcade games unlocked with achievements that I’ve already done. Now that I turned on my Xbox 360 on, my X360 arcade games turned into trial versions. How do I fix this?

Something my be wrong with the hard drive, changing locations should never do anything to your games.
wouldnt have happened, only possible time this would happen is if you change regions, i.e. moved from UK to USA. But even then i dont think it would.
You are more likely trying to use your mates profile on your xbox 360 or vice versa. Arcade games are stored to the memory device, if you have an achievement for sonic, this doesnt mean that putting your gamertag on your mates xbox 360 will unlock sonic, you will need your gamertag on YOUR memory device
Seriously sounds like your trying to unlcok games you aint paid for.
that sounds kind of odd…so you took your 360 and the arcade games you had purchased were reverted back to trial games…i’m going to assume you’ve signed into xbox live right?
Honestly guy i have no clue on how to start answering your question if i were you i’d call x-box support and see if they can’t give you a clear answer as to what may have happened…
best of luck!
It's a DRM (Digital Rights Management) issue, nothing is wrong with your Harddrive. If you are connected online on Xboxlive then these will play fine as full versions. You must have moved the games from the original Xbox 360 used to download them as that forms part of the DRM not just your harddrive.
You can migrate these once a year according to M$ but I dont know if this is only Harddrive to harddrive, other option they have given in the past is to delete them off you harddrive, clear the cache and redownload them again, this worked with me and the Shivering ilses
