    Can't play downloaded games while offline or even see them


    Like the title says. If you've been online to buy and verify ownership of downloaded games once you should be able to and have every right to play your games offline. Every other platform offers this. It's insane that you can't even see your locally installed
    titles without being constantly online. Let alone play them.

    Extreme anti-gamer and consumer practice. Xbox live as well as every ISP has issues sometimes and for that we should not be punished. Fix this **** MS.

    Hiya!!

    I can understand your frustration on this matter. The reason that most developers require you to be online to play is because most games, depending on the graphics, are large files and require you to tap into their servers to access the entire file to
    be able to play. It's like the difference from the old consoles where the game was on a cartridge so your graphics suck. The disc or the digital file that you purchase just installs the basics of the game to enable you the access the entire file. I dont see
    that changing or the console would have to have huge storage space.! :)

    Happy Gaming!

    As i said, your problem is that its not your hime Xbox. This is a direct symptom of this. Please double check this has been set properly. Id youre still having problems you need to contact customer service, because its an account issue
    Sorry, but like I've already written I have it set as my home xbox and always have. Must be a bug in the firmware since you can search for individual titles you know you have installed and they show up and can be played. You cannot however see all the titles
    and content installed unless you search for specific titles. The 'games' section under 'my games & apps' is empty. Once again - it's not because I don't have the box set as my home xbox.
