Doesn't xbox live games currently operate under a similar banner. My gold subscription expired and now when I try and play Banjo Tooie a game I bought with my gold membership, I am only allowed to to play the trial, but I know 2000% I bought the game in full. Is this the norm?

No, I'm guessing you bought the game while you owned one console, then got a different one or are playing it on a different one than you originally purchased.
If that is the case, you can transfer the licenses from one console to another and you'll have full/functional use of the content. Without the license transfer, no.
All content with Microsoft is licensed to the user (primary) and the console (secondary). If the console doesn't change, anyone on that console can use the content regardless of whether or not they purchased it. If the console changes, then the only person who can use it is the person who downloaded it after they connect to Xbox LIVE.
If the license is transfered, then the purchaser can use the content without an Xbox LIVE connection. Others on the console may not. It depends on how the license transfer is done. If Microsoft brokered the license transfer as a part of a repair, it likely won't. However, if you handle the license transfer via Xbox LIVE, then everyone on the console will have full access to the content.
If you have multiple consoles, then the only console it will work on without an Xbox LIVE connection is the original console on which it was purchased.
Hope this helps.
