Because I too use the XBox.

And because there are definitely benefits of Internet access. Saved games, for example.

But yeah, fair point. I should configure router to selectively enable/disable access to that device while the kid uses it to see how usable it is. It may just be good enough for his games

You can't even save games without an internet connection? sheesh...

people can't even listen to music without internet, so this isn't surprising xD

You can. The same devices that run Spotify will happily play your mp3 collection.

Actually, I don't know. It's certainly convenient that they do. You don't lose anything if your HD crashes. I should try running the games without Internet access to see if they also save them locally.
