One of the main functions of the XBOX 360 console is the ability to play games, both locally and networked. Local game play involves simply inserting the game into the console's CD tray and following the onscreen directions. Networked game play is a completely different animal. As a result of necessity, most games that support online gaming over the XBOX Live service require a mandatory download. Another pivotal feature of online game play is the ability to link to friends. It is this linkage that may provide the communication vector to link suspect to victim.
