The official way is this:

Re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

If it's just you two, getting individual annual subscriptions on sale is cheaper than the family plan was. The Family plan was $100, while single subscriptions can be had for $35 a year, so $70 for...

Re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

Also, in reference to the L4D series:

All the campaigns for the original L4D were ported to L4D2 as part of DLC packs. So one could theoretically buy L4D2, then purchase all the DLC, and have both...

Re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

The first models of the 360 were wired ethernet only, with an optional wifi add-on. The revision to the "S" models made wifi standard. Also, with the earlier models, the harddrive was "optional",...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

The $35 card doesn't add a whole year to the family plan, it only adds 6 months. It's for adding existing accounts that may already have Gold to a family plan. It's still cheaper overall since two...

They can't be forced legally to pay percentage, see the First Sale Doctrine I mention above.

No, used video game sales are protected under a principle known as "right of first sale," which means that basically, after the initial purchase, that item can be bought and sold at will, no further...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

The edge article is extremely vague. They mention "sources" plural in one paragraph, then say "our source," singular, in the next. I'm not sure their source is any more reliable than the previous...

The latest source for this rumor was an article chuckd21 linked to a few posts back:

It uses a Kinect and a projector:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

How will that impact the next gen console?[/QUOTE]
Keep in mind that it's a percentage. So the amount of time people are playing games on Xbox hasn't necessarily decreased, but rather the amount of...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

Just to answer this question again:

1) the HBOGo app has more content available than what's available on most (all?) cable box on-demand features. This is why everyone was in a hissy about Comcast...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

It sounds like it, unless they mean the Xbox app in the first statement, and the iOS app in the second. Maybe the Xbox app grabs the video differently.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

I have FIOS, and I don't have a bandwidth cap. Previously I had Time Warner Cable, which likewise didn't have a bandwidth cap. So it doesn't matter if the HBOGO app "counts" towards usage or not.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

There's nothing in the FAQ that indicates a limit on the number of devices. What's more, you're not limited to just one simultaneous stream:

I'd convert your account to Gold Family, then add him to your plan. Gold Family is specifically geared towards managing your kids' accounts:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

Are you referring to XBLIG games? Those have an entirely different process than XBLA games.
