Can you play XBox 360 games without internet connection?

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Slim console and am in the process of setting it up. As I turn it on and select my preferred language, I encounter a prompt asking for an internet connection to recover my gamertag. I would like to know if it is possible to play games without an internet connection. Specifically, can I simply insert a game disc into the console and play? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

yes you sure can! You can play all the games you want. You don’t need an internet connection for anything. The only reason why you need an internet connection is to play online multiplayer games or to access additional media with the xbox.

It all depends on the game. I can play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my Xbox 360, but not Tony Hawks Underground Skating 2. I am not sure what determines if a game is playable from Xbox to Xbox 360, all I know is some work, and some dont. Internet Connection has nothing to do with it.

Yes, you can play games without an internet connection, but to recover your profile from Xbox Live, you need an internet connection. How else is the system going to download your profile from an online service?

Skip the internet connection step.

If you bought a down loadable game on another console, you can’t play it without an internet connection. All Indie games need internet to play. If you have internet, you can get free updates to existing games.
