@kspraydad, You can use it on the machine you first purchased it on without being logged on to XBox Live. However, to use it on a different machine you have to be logged on.
I believe the idea is to prevent you buying something, then going to 5 or 6 friends houses, and pretending you got a new console and redownloading the game. Now they play without signing into XBox Live and bingo, it is free for them.
Not sure what Sony does to prevent that, but I can't imagine they just let it happen.
