"What am I really out? The lack of market place access? I can download that same video content on my pc and run it at 1080p, I have yet to really see what the big deal with being banned is".
When I put a disk into my 360, it plays it. So how did anything negative happen?"
Bit of a silly comment really mate,you obviously never played GOW,Halo 3,Team Fortress 2 etc. online or else you would not talk like that.
ALOT of people dont buy games to complete in story mode but simply to play multi player battles online
(myself included) and thats why its not good to get banned but obviously if your not that way inclined your sorted.
I know if i got banned i would sell mine immediately and get a new one!
Updates,Videos,Demos,Marketplace etc. is only one side of the coin and if that was all "Live" was about then yeah i wouldnt miss it either!
I kind of have to agree with Mr Jackyl on this one. The position I am in though is that I spend the majority of my "play time" in R.V. parks and such. I live in my van for at least 6 months out of the year and don't have access to a high speed connection (I do have a 27" flat panel in the van just for Xbox and Dish tv

).
Although, I can understand those that would miss it GREATLY if they got banned.......Live is just not important to me since I can't use it the majority of the year anyway.
Some require it and some don't........no biggie.......it's all good.

You can download updates, usually a few weeks after it is available through live.
Caster.
If you would be so kind......where would one (with a banned console) go to find these updates?
