They don't make shit on Live cards, but it's still something I do. I go for the human element if I can do so without too much extra trouble. Every dollar I spend there helps them out much more than every dollar I transmit directly to Microsoft through the series of tubes.
But you gotta admit, it would be a cool idea, right? I'd pay extra every month to have the option to download movies directly to my console, meaning I wouldn't have to leave the house and wander through the rental place with kids screaming and long lines and scratched up DVDs and a clerk who is trying his damndest to get me to buy some popcorn, soda, candy, and a new release when I do get to the counter.
And I realise that the first paragraph directly contradicts the second and I am a gigantic hypocrit.

Why is this annoying? Do you not want people knowing that you played the Space Giraffe demo, or something?
I'll admit I found it annoying too...but it hardly matters. no one but you sees it (edit: unless you want others to). That and achievement points are completely meaningless

Some of the sites that track your gamerscore include trial games as part of your completion percentage. So if you play the demo of Space Giraffe and dislike it that 200 points is still calculated into your potential gamerscore.
Don't knock the reasoning, gaming is an OCD hobby.

It sucks. I'd even pay 400 point for an extra 100 slots.
OH MY GOD JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SO ANNOYING FUCKING NINJA KILLING ME IN TWO SECONDS AND FUCKING TREE GUY SHOOTING FUCKING SAWS AT ME BEFORE I CAN MOVE. And even if I kill the FUCKING NINJA GIRL I only have one life which is quickly taken from me by THE HORRIBLE TREE MAN.
SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Resurrecting thread to quote this, as I finally got Red Ring'd this week, and have replaced my console.
None of my content is available offline, and I have a lot.
And similarly, I can imagine upgrading to an Elite/later model 360 at some point in the future.
This is not how it should work, given the number of failed/failing launch 360s. Microsoft - get on it!
Now imagine if all of those icons of games he played were only the demos. It annoys me to no end, at least. I only want icons of real games I've played up there, not demos that I checked out for a minute.

choosing 'download again' didn't fix it?
I have Feeding Frenzy clogging up my listing of Played Games, and I had just opened the demo for like five minutes.
They need to have an option to get rid of these.

2) TradeWars 2002, spread out over the expanse of xbox live... C'mon man, it's trade wars.. I want my turn based, play by play, strategy empire building sims.
3) More flight sims (bring back wing commander, pull Mark Hamill out of mothballs, along with the guy that played Biff in Back to the Future, record some new voices, make some new missions, and that's about it.
4) Virtual Tabletop (pay WoTC if you have to, or use a non D20 system) Please!
5) Duke Nukem Forever (it has to be on every list, ever made.....)
6) A free game every month, or every three months even, for premium memberships. (The year bundles already come with a game (if you can still find the cards), but if I already have that game I should get a voucher for another one) At least give us a free game with every live refill, or some points.
7) Bonus points for buying in bulk. (I would buy $70 worth of points if I got $20 or $30 for free)
8) It's been said, but better DRM. I want to be able to take TV show's I've legally paid for and play them on something besides my xbox. At least let me link them to my account so I can rent shit I've already bought and let friends watch it on their boxes when I come over, even if they can't keep it.
Nope, I got it swapped for a new one at the store I bought it from, back at launch, so I'm all outta luck.
I didn't want to send it to Microsoft because;
a) I had it covered with a small insurance plan.
b) At the moment, they have something like a month turnaround. Halo 3 is out in a couple of weeks. I've got time off of work for that sucker, I'm not missing one day!
Also, my friend has a gold 360 account he shares with his brother. Could he reactivate it on the new one and have it still active on his old 360? Will that cost double or something since he's using one account but two Xboxes?
On the second point, I'm not quite sure what you mean. You can sign your gold Live account onto any 360, but can only be actively signed into Live on one console at a time.
Would another account on the same XBox be able to play the downloaded games?
and to make these posts on topic, I do hope they get rid of the Trial games on your playlist because that's always bugged me.
Yes.
And to Fragglefart, I think you need to register (or change registration) your new 360 with MS before you can use your games offline.
Only if the account which actually owns them is signed into Live on the same machine at that time. I think.
Fatal Fury 2 this week was excellent-are there any pa players?
Thanks for the heads up, but I gave them a call earlier today, they registered my new box, prompted me to try re-downloading things, and it didn't seem to work.
Ahh, now that's a reason I can get behind.
It is rather upsetting that the abomination that is Wing Commander Arena is still on my gamercard. I don't want people thinking I actually like that game.

This needs to happen
I did in here somewhere.
MUST.
Because that's pretty much the only way I'd be able to play the damn thing except for Steam.
