well, if you bought them on a different 360, and you now have a new one cuz i dunno, maybe your old one broke? then you have to be connected to live to access all the content you bought off of marketplace when you were on your old 360. its a security measure i guess.

This happens to me too. I dont know what the deal is. Sometimes I will start a game of say Double Dragon and once it loads up it says its the demo and I have to buy the full version. Sometimes I start my 360 up and it says I have 0 xbox live arcade games. I just restart the xbox and usually everything is fine. If that doesnt help, call the infamous MS support. I have never called them but have heard their service is horrible.

I'm with the second poster. It's a security measure MS uses so that people can't hack games and then keep them offline where they can't be detected. It happens to me as well, ever since Nov 22 2006 when I traded in my first 360 for a new one due to screen artifacting.

I've heard you can call MS and get your points refunded to repurchase the games again. Although I've also heard they aren't always very helpful at it and it becomes a real pain.
