Best Answer
I'm not sure how to enable it, but it is possible to be logged in to Xbox Live and appear offline. This will hide your current activity from anyone on your friends list. Since you are connected to Xbox Live, this lets you do anything that requires Xbox Live as usual (playing multiplayer, sending messages, etc.).
