Makes sense, but nice to know Microsoft always had a plan B. Unfortunately that does mean you'll have to connect ONCE to the internet at launch to get that patch. My guess is with future production it won't be necessary, but initial produced units will require this.

I don't think there was always a plan B. This sounds like rather drastic response to whatever bomb Gamestop dropped on them yesterday (spill it, Ben!).

Exactly. They saw the difference (likely 10 to 1) on preorders and said "fuck that!"
