[King Sun]

[Mr. Somebody]

No play from optical drives. Trashbox.

Will always have an internet connection?

Please Microsoft fans, come home to those who love you.

mandatory install to disc install will be a day1 cop for me if you don't need the disc to play any of the games like arcade titles.

I'm pretty sure that "always connected" in this article means that it stays online when the console is turned off like the ps4 so the system can update.

Nah, you can zoom in on the text, it says it always maintains a network connection.

2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence.

Durango will implement different power states so that it can always be powered on, but will draw minimal electricity when not in use. The console will be ready instantly when users want to play, and will always maintain a network connection so that console software and games are always current. With this 'Always On, Always Connected' design, users will quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install updates

Sounds just like the optional 360s low power game install mode instead this time the system will constantly be downloading game updates/patches/OS features when turned into that state.


we will find out in a month im sure i will be right, it said nothing about mandatory it used the word can

The first question they answer better be whether or not the system can function without a connection. The fact it's mandatory to install games to the HDD leads me to believe that a connection will always have to be on to make sure you're not playing bootlegs.

I hope that's not the case.

Its over, friend. Always on always connected, cant work without kinect sensor. Sad turn of events, friend. PS4 this holiday season. Lets work together to put Microsoft out of the gaming industry. Maybe next gen we'll get X-station.

Sony fanboys are funny.

All the same features Sony bragged about for two hours are now bad since they will be on xbox

 

[illwittdeez]

always online? what if you "don't have" or "disconnect" the internet?

 

[Mr. Somebody]

The Kinect Sensor Of Death coming soon.

WHat happens when those sensors start failing. All other parts function perfectly but when that sensor fails, its back to the factory. 3 year warranty, Sensor fails at 3.5, gotta buy a new x box. Its so over for this disengenuous system.

it doesn't say internet is required/mandatory , you will be fine just like with the 360 low power game installs.
