    Buy the game instead of playing the pirated version.
    Or press home when it loads up. Then you can create an offline account ;)

    I did buy it! lol, have it on my desktop and didn't have internet so I had to play it offline... anyway, I did create an offline account already I just want to transfer the saved data over to my M17x, is that possible? becuase I moved it over into the folder and it isn't reconginizing it... people have said it is becuase it is linked to GFWL account. Therefore I want to transfer my offline Windows live account over to my M17x is that possible?

    When you create another offline account on another computer, make sure the user name stays the same, otherwise your saves on your desktop will not work on your laptop if the GFWL account names are different.

    Once it's working on your laptop, you can go ahead and make that account live for online multiplayer.
