VIP Content - how can I get it?

[DK]

I've bought the Collector's Edition of Forza 3 and I don't have Xbox Live. Is there any other way I can get the VIP content?

you could probably go round a friends house and take your HD to download it on.

He would need to take his entire 360.

Thanks to the craptastic DRM that MS uses, you can only use the content on the same 360 it was downloaded on, or if you are logged into Live.

He could log into live round his friends house, if he has the internet but that would mean either getting a 48 hour code or paying for a 1 month subscription I suppose
The VIP stuff is really to do with live anyway, your stor efront stuff is featured, you recieve gift cars and hgave a crown next to your name in the leaderboards and these things need live

you could also*if you never had live* use your email to sign up for gold and then just say you dont want to pay now then they give you 1 month free.

there are not only the giveaway cars...but there are also like 6 or so cars including the Corvette ZR1 that are VIP only...


But as for the OP, no you need XBL to get the content...

Had the same problem -its worse if you buy ME2, cant play it unless you download an update, expensive mistake. but as long as the Console is updated you shouldnt have a problem. Or did you buy your console 2nd hand if so theres a large chance you'll be sweet
