You lack commitment
This is the only place i can go where people dont talk about Cod and Iphone5s rumors.
Guys, Calm down, They will show their good games and stuff at E3.
Oh, wait.
If your internet dies for a long time, no more games.
If their servers go down, no gaming for anyone.
That's just silly.
So the xbox one will get jealous if you been playing on a different console?
xbox one is quickly becoming the token bumbling moron character in the next-gen console sitcom
Xbone is always on!
No it isn't! We swear!
*Behind the scenes* Make it so it's every 24 hours it checks if you're online, or every hour if they're not at their own console
See, It isn't always on, but we're still babysitting you or else you can't play
Can it get any worse? Will it? I hope it does because it's giving us all more entertainment than it would allow us to have if we bought one. the ONLY good thing so far is the Controller. But how hard is it to mess that up, it's basically the same damn thing with a texturized rubber ridge around the sticks, which I like. I will probably, eventually, get one for my PC

Watching TV and viewing physical content you own and have already bought offline is apparently a selling point.

I can't wait to die from smugness when this gets reverse-engineered all to hell, and completely bypassed.

Just imagine what it will do when you play on a PC with lots of Xbox's "exclusives"

I completely agree with you; not so much because of the requirement of an internet connection in of itself (your quote could have just as easily described Steam), but because the requirement is completely arbitrary.
lol now all people need to do is trade their xbox to each other when they want to play each other's games. unless you still have a terrible internet connection, in which case you are fucked. all aboard the sony love train!
I think Microsoft listened to [url=http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Santa-Claus-Is-Coming-to-Town-lyrics-The-Temptations/C0324694678B7FB548256D2F00303CED]This song[/url] too much when they were making the Kinect 2

what if a really bad storm hits and knocks your power off for more than a day? would that mean your games are gone because you couldn't have the online check?

i was thinking something more like this

So basically what Microsoft has just done (other than being anti-consumer to an almost moustache-twirling degree) is guarantee that the Xbox One will NEVER be a legacy console. Unless they come up with a patch (and at this point I don't trust them to), once those authentication servers go down you're going to have a very expensive paperweight and a whole bunch of useless discs.
I'm trying to look at this situation as detached and reasonable as I can but it is almost putting me at a loss for words how ABSURD Microsoft is being.
I've seen less security in a fucking prison.
What is this shit, Microsoft. I hope this is just a bad dream in the gaming industry and we'll all wake up soon.
So basically every Xbone sold is on permanent suicide watch
Makes sense, it knows it's an Xbox One after all
sometimes, it feels like sony had people infiltrate microsoft and their only purpose to bring shitty ideas to the table
It seems like Microsoft really wants this console to fail or they are to blind to see what they are doing.

Or, more likely, they're seeing how far they can go with brand loyalty. I [B]still[/B] see droves of people defending them, even after today's "clarification."
It's honestly depressing.
They call it the Xbox One because it only works for one day.
welp, no matter how many great exclusives the xbox one has, microsoft isn't getting a sale from me
fuck this anti-consumer bullshit
Sadly, until we hear how Sony is handling the situation with PS4, this entire gen may be fucked.
PS4 is poised to be better since Sony said the internet is not needed to play PS4, but I get the feeling they'll be plenty of anti-consumer bullshit when it comes to PS4. Might not be as bad as Xbox one, but still going to be a step backwards.
Thanks publishers, you're going to either crash the industry (hopefully followed by a recovery period) or drive away lots of potential buyers because of your greed.

If Sony is even slightly intelligent, all they need to do is say that they're doing the exact opposite of what Microsoft is doing and people will throw money at them. This whole thing feels unreal though; I honestly didn't think that a company would have the arrogance to be so blatantly anti-consumer...and be serious about it.
Side-note: I wonder how Gamestop is going to react to this. This is anecdotal, but I've seen a few people saying that GS was completely blindsided by this. I'm honestly hoping that they throw it right back in Microsoft's face because I do not want to promote this system.
This may be a dumb question, but let's say the power is disconnected from the Xbox One for more than 24 hours, will you just be denied access to your games or something when you turn it back on? Does it have to literally be powered on all the time so these check ups can occur? I never really understood that.
Its not even worth to buy a xbone when it gets cracked. Cause this thing will fail so horribly
That there will be no new games after a year. Thank you microsoft for making absolutely clear
Which console to get this generation.
Plus im pretty much sure that this anticonsumer stuff wont pass in the eu. Biiiig ass lawsuit incoming
