I used to be a gold member on xbox.

I play so infrequently I don't want to re-subscribe to gold.

However I wanted to pick up defense grid 2 in the sales but it says item already purchased. When I try to play it on my xbox it says that I must upgrade to gold.

Is there a way to purchase something you previously got for free?
 
If you got it as part of Games with Gold then you must have an active Gold account to play it. They are not yours to play once your Gold subscription lapses.

The same goes for the PlayStation Network equivalent.
 
Yes. I know that. However I want to buy the game now without re-subscribing to gold.

Happy to pay the current £3 asking price but there is no option to purchase.

Ah right, gotcha.

Seems like an oversight on their part...
 
No joy from xbox. only way I can do it is if someone gifts me the game. Anyone willing to do so. Will paypal the amount to you.
 
Yeah no problem, shoot me a PM
