Just a quick word of warning to everyone out there:
If you, like me, do not have Xbox Live access but still want to download content for games, you're out of luck. I recently went to my friend's dorm since he has internet access to download two Rock Band packs, the Grateful Dead pack for 800 points and the Nine Inch Nails pack for 440 points.
Apparently, even though I used my harddrive to download the songs, I cannot use the songs on my console unless I am connected to Xbox Live. This makes things hard for me, seeing as how I do not have Xbox Live connection.
I talked to a "customer support agent", who simply told me that 1) The songs are registered to my friend's console, 2) I cannot redownload the packs on my console, and 3) They cannot refund me any money or gamer points. I even asked to be refunded 1000 Gamerpoints via gift card, not even the full 1240 they owe me, and I was told no. So I got connected to a supervisor, and she just told me the same thing.
So now I'm screwed until my lease is up and I can find an apartment with an actual connection to the network. Just a warning to anyone who is in a similar situation to me - don't get criminally robbed by Microsoft and their shady TOS.
