Yes, you can redownload XBLA games and marketplace content, but if it's

the first time round is signed in to Live.

As I've just replied to Jochta saying, that is incorrect. Well in many
instances anyway. As you know, I got my XBLA games working again with no
problems, as have many others, yet for some reason there are as many other
people, such as yourself, trying to get a points refund because the system
isn't working for them. It's a weird situation, surely there should be a
working, documented way of sorting out the transfer/redownloading of XBLA
games.

Perhaps I misunderstood your situation - I thought that you had had to
contact MS to get it resolved (ie that you had the problems as described
above when you received your repaired/replaced console, and that MS had been
able to reset some server based flag that allowed the re-downloads to be
seen as the orginal purchase, IYSWIM). I'm not sure where I got that idea
from, to be fair, and if it's not the case then I think you are the first
person I've heard about where things have 'just worked' without any need to
contact MS. The main difference that I've seen is that for some people MS
have been able to rejig the DRM such that they could just redownload them,
and in other cases they haven't and thus have given refunds.
Apologies if I've misunderstood.
