Might I sense a bit of mockery towards me? :P

I'm pretty sure it'll be like DLC and Arcade games. The initial download will tie the Game to a console serial # so you can play it offline on that console, and subsequent downloads on other consoles will be allowed, but only playable if your Gamertag is signed in. Of course, there are some ways of bypassing this if you know what you're doing...

Wicked guys. Thanks a ton. :D

So true!!

I'm pretty sure some developers and publishers would be very keen on this...

Congrats to Trixie and Reighvin!

The more the merrier I say!

I played it, and from all the extra content you're getting in it, it SO deserves a sequel.

LOL, oddly enough, I had the exact same thing happen to me. Except when my video card died, the tv was receiving a black signal. Once the Support Person had me reset my settings, the TV was showing NO signal. How's that for great customer service.

Here are two pics of my dash before and while the video card was failing:

Did you try escalating it to a supervisor? They seem to be a shit ton more helpful. I escalated mine, and in the supervisor's opening spiel, they basically said "this repair will be free." Granted, this was my 6th repair... LOL

Either way, try calling them back and escalating it. If you need any help with it, hit me up on Twitter or XBL, same username as ID.

SO much fun! Only things that are a PITA are the Stunt Runs, because if you have your Elite license like me, you have to score 1, 1.2, and 1.4 million points in 3 different stunt runs. let me tell you...lol
