Because I too use the XBox.

And because there are definitely benefits of Internet access. Saved games, for example.

But yeah, fair point. I should configure router to selectively enable/disable access to that device while the kid uses it to see how usable it is. It may just be good enough for his games

You can. The same devices that run Spotify will happily play your mp3 collection.

		Spotify allows you to download songs for offline (requiring a phone home once a month) and play local files. I'm far from a Spotify advocate but no need to be inflammatory and misinformed.
