Xbox 360 Games on Demand questions

[magick]

If you buy a game on Games on Demand to you have to be logged onto XBL to play them or can you play them offline?

Can you be downloading a game while playing another?

Does the download system have a resume if you power off your xbox over night?

Is there a limit to how many times you can download a game?

How much are the games on average? I can only find US prices on wikipedia.

Games on Demand are too expensive. I wouldnt bother, be easier to pick up a copy from a store or ebay.

Would assume you could play offline, as the game is on your HD.

Normally when you download a game, it stops when you are playing another. But I have had that message then later "download complete" pops up.

Yes it will resume, but why not enable background downloads, will download with Xbox off.

Not sure on download limit

Normally too expensive, maybe from 14.99 to 49.99

games at very best are £14.99.
i've bought fable 2 from games on demand by accident (it was going for free and i ended up buying )
it is playable offline, there isnt a limit to how many times you download it, but really once its downloaded its there so there isnt a need to download again.

I've bought several. TDU2 was cheaper than in my local second-hand game shop. Downloading is a bit slow though, the Xbox Live servers never max out my connection. It's nice to be able to play things without fannying about with optical discs though.
