Brand new XBOX360 w/ Live, but the Gamertag is in my name, my credit card, how do I keep my roommates from downloading content that I'm charged with? I want them to be able to download free stuff, and I've put the simple, "Left, Right, up, down" password on Xbox Live, but can they get drunk and download all kinds of stuff that I'll be later charged with? Thanks.

When you say put a password on it, what does that mean?

Two of the three other roommates are network engineers, so I'm sure they could figure it out. If they can figure out a Linux cluster, then they can figure out how to buy things on Live Marketplace.

All of your answers were useless, but thanks for just giving random answers to a question.
I found the answer on my own here:

Yes, use the parental controls and modify the purchasing features.

Use only wireless controllers and remove the batteries when they get drunk. Make sure you hide the batteries. That way they can THINK they are playing it, if they are that drunk, but really not do anything. Seriously with the card being on there they could buy points and then spend them. Another solution would be to not have it load directly to marketplace, they probably wouldn't figure out how to get there if they were drunk, and could play games still.

move all the beer, food and porn in your room to the opposite corner of the room. That way you can lure them away from the 360!
