I have an old ISP e-mail address, and I'm switching ISPs. I will no longer have access to that account. Therefore, I used an Xbox 360 to transfer my Gamertag to a new Outlook.com e-mail address. All of my Xbox content transferred over fine. My Zune Pass and music all went with it. Cool.
But not my apps. I just reformatted my phone and logged in with my new Outlook account, but it seems that I must re-purchase my apps in order to use them. What gives? I was under the impression that app purchases went along with the account transfer.
Any guidance?
Edit: It seems that some apps (seemingly ones that I purchased in early 2012) are tied to my Outlook account, but newer apps/games (example, Sonic CD) are still demanding that I pay for them again. Is this something that takes time, and I'm just being impatient? Also, do any of my contacts come over? I'd hate to have to re-add all of the people that I previously manually added to my old Microsoft Account.
