Always online is not about internet connection anyway. its about control. connection is not a problem to me. heck my pc is on at home runing something on the internet even now. but i wont buy it out of principle of not giving them control over my entertainment.
"Every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection,"
Sure, because everyone without one simply wont buy it. DUH.
First, some good news: "Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One." Assuming there are no catches, that's pretty generous. It would be great to share games with family members without having to physically visit them.
i can already see groups of "lets make eachother friends and buy every 10th game each".....
Finally, you can breathe easy knowing that the new Kinect will not be spying on you, as long as you don't want it to. Privacy options control what your Kinect sees and hears, and if you don't want it on, just say "Xbox off."
i dont understand. you can turn off the whole console. you can unplug it anyway. but can you keep kinect off while gaming? that was the question to begin with. and they didnt answer it at all.

Eve online is a PC game. Dust514 woudl fit better as its same studios console MMORPG game. it shares the world with EVE and is persistent. Its not on Xbox though. you know why? MS said no to free updates. so CCP said no to MS.

And so the actual price of the Xbox will not be what they will announce You'll have to add the extra 50-60$ to have xbox live. Cause otherwise the system will not play any games.
If Live becomes free then that's another thing.
no, you ont get it, the machine will act like a ATM, except you will have to put money in regularry to work. and it sends the money to MS via teh internetz.

"Every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection," What, can this fucker see into the future now? There are no Xbox One owners the thing isn't for sale yet. I guess he's merely stating what is logically true that every person boneheaded enough to buy this anti-consumer piece of crap will HAVE to have broadband connection, it's still a strange thing to say.
hes not technically wrong though. the only people that have Xbone now is MS, and they do have broadband connection. also noone without one will buy it anyway, so he will be correct in the future as well.
Honestly, why are people saying that they can live with this? You shouldn't have to to "live with" or "deal with" something you don't approve of in a LUXURY item. If the free-market system truly works what you should do is NOT give money to the company that demands YOU serve THEM and instead give your money to the company that understands that they have no business asking for your money unless they are going to provide you with the product you want. Whether that be Sony, Nintendo, Steam, GoG.com doesn't matter.
Your not entirely correct. for example if you go on vacation, and you have to use a bus ride to get there. the bus is smelly, hot and the ride is bumpy. but you "live with it" because you will get the vacation. the same logic is applied there. the people want the benefit of xbone and thus are willing to get though the ride to get to that benefit. whiel the sentiment to "not buy if you dont like" is good in theory, in practice it rarely works. especially when the companies are still going to blame it on everything but whats at fault as they shown capable of doing very easily.
