Awesome, Christmas 2013 and it'll have a bluray player in it. But it has to always be connected to the internet? WTF..
Not believing anything not published by microsoft at this point.
i question the articles accuracy.no way they go for an always on connection itll fracture the amount of potential customers which=bad business.
I don't even have a Live account and I would hate to get one just so I can play sports games by myself.
Okay... *deep breath*...
Since when does a fucking video game console HAVE TO BE ONLINE to play games? What is this shit? I understand most of Microsoft's exclusive games and virtually all of it's biggest sellers are online shooters, but this is the same fucking company that was opposed to the idea of game-to-hard drive installation of double-disk games like Mass Effect 2 because they were worried some of their console-owners didn't even own hard drives a couple years ago. Now they assume all of their customers have high-speed internet? Just how much fucking sense does that make?
The anti-piracy measures Microsoft is taking are bold, but unpromising. Couple the online issue with the fact their games probably won't work on different consoles (eliminating the possibility of used-game sales), then you have officially given your potential customers two reasons to buy a PS4 instead.
And big, BIG props to Sony on owning the patent on the Blu Ray codec. Way to fuck your competition in the ass and make money off each and every XBox console sold. I gotta say, I don't have a lot of vision for an XBox 1080 or whatever the fuck it will be called.

XBOX is still around
it dosent matter what they do,within 6 months of release we will be pirating.i aint payin 60 bucks for games.fuck that noise.
Good luck with that chef. If this article is accurate (Which I highly doubt it is), then as soon you pirate a game and their anti-piracy detects it, boom your console is IP Banned and no longer gonna be useful. Why? Cause if it always has to be connected to play, you get banned then you wont be able to play anything period.
Like I said I doubt this is even true, Microsoft knows their gamers better then a always connnected approach. We'll see what Microsoft has to say, cause they're the only ones I'll believe at this point when it comes to ANY details on a new console.

there will always be a way to pirate.hell right now there isnt even a dvd drive installed on my xbox 360 and im still playin every game for free.who would of imagined that 5 years ago.its become big business for the moders and mod device sellers and our people will always figure out a way to pirate.
Mines online but I don't use gold as I'm not fond of multiplayer.
Believe it or not, some people are still poor these days. I guess Microsoft just doesn't give a shit about them anymore. Maybe they figured poor people pirate more, so it's worth it to do away with these customers.
Personally, living without internet would be pretty difficult for me at this point. Between a LAN line, cable/satellite, and internet, internet is by-far the biggest priority for me. Some people think differently though.
only thing i hook up to internet is my pc.which i could not live without.
