Question: How the fuck are you going to play these games if you can't get broadband where you live?

I just got a 360 a little while ago and own both of those games. I get a lot of notices like this too, but I'm pretty sure they said "if you choose not to update, you will not be able to connect to Xbox Live" or something to that effect. I know I definitely didn't set up Xbox Live before first playing Halo 3.
