Maybe a year ago or so there was a big Microsoft server outage that caused Xbox Live to go down for a few hours. During the outage you couldn’t access any online games. Fair enough. I own a handful of single player games on disc (rather than through the Xbox store) but while Microsoft was having all of their server issues I couldn’t play those games either. It seems, even when you own the disc outright, the system automatically phones home before the game is permitted to launch.
