unless they release some sort of disc collection live is the only way. cant move your XBOX for 10 minutes? you dont need a gold account to buy games.

Wow...

I didn't know there were any areas like that left.

I literally haven't had a dial-up connection in 12 years. I couldn't imagine having to go back to that.

There are plenty of areas like that. My mother lives in one such area. Really ---smurfing--- annoying too. You have your choice of dial up, ISDN, "radio network" or dish. To add insult to injury, there's a fiberoptic backbone that runs right in front of her house but no one wants to tap it down in the village or up in her area. Even if someone did tap it, no one is willing to run any other line out to her place. ALL of the infrastructure is right there, it's that last damn hop that no one is willing to set up.

For my folks it's worse. they had wireless DSL, worked great then the provider lost the lease for the tower and now they are back to dialup. no viable options so far...

...they only live 5-10 minutes out of town.

Yeah, it would not work for you.

The game would be tied to his 360, and you would only be able to play it on yours if you were logged into Xbox Live, which of course is the whole problem in the first place.

The way 360 DRM works is that it is both tied to the 360 it is purchased on, so that any profile on that 360 can use it, and it is tied to the profile that purchased it, so that profile can go to any other 360 and play it as long as they are connected to Live.
