I just set up my uncle with a new Xbox and a bunch of paid downloads and just gave in and bought him a year of Xbox Live Gold that he will never use for anything, but I just want to ensure he can actually play the games I paid for.  Disgusting.

You also have to be internet connected to play video files (.avi, .mpg) on the 360. If you try and play videos without an internet connection it will say that the codec cannot be found and then it urges you to connect to Live to find the codecs. Pretty stupid.

I understand why they did it though. They didn't want people modding the 360 so that it could be another media center like what happened to the Xbox1. LOL
I wonder if these alt dashboards that are being installed on jtagged and ghed 360s get around this. Would be cool to have XBMC on a 360.

if you don't use live, you can't use your xbox. i have to update my xbox 3 times just to play a game. apparently i need to update to run the game then a new dashboard, then the game needs another update to fix issues. :censored:

and what gets me is when i do select something to download, like netflix or youtube, it downloads like 50mb, installs,, then when i run it, it has to be updated for another 50mb?!? :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: WTF didn't you idiots give me the updated software to begin with?!?!  :dizzy:

i've only had my 360 for a few months and i'm almost ready to smack it open and give M$ the whatfor.

We've had our Xbox for 12 months now and haven't had live. The one time we bought a game that needed an update it just did it for us. It's not even connected to the net.
