Lol MS's creative director practically confirmed this. Or at the very least, heavily implying it.







Twitter

Microsoft employe trying to spin the leak?

The only thing he's doing is confirming this rumor.



Around the Network

I dunno if he's trolling, or if Microsoft has actually eclipsed Sony's pre-PS3 hubris. A lot of things have been pointing to the latter, but damn.

Sony: "Get a second job to buy a PS3!"

MS: "Move to a different city to play your new Xbox!"

If you want to wait for official confirmation, go ahead. We'll keep discussing the rumors that keep popping up over and over and over again.

Go re-read the Kotaku article and they mention that this was barely activated 2 weeks ago so its not that hard to believe developers aren't aware of it yet. This is a negative feature and Microsoft  probalby didn't find it releavnt to tell people so far in advance.


Are they allowed to do that? If I spent a load of money on development only to hear they are doing something like this, I would be mad. It's like keeping the secret that the Nextbox is Canada exclusive or something, they should have to tell them about anything that could impact sales.

Third console curse is a bitch.

They have time to change this but I'm not getting my hopes up. Are they going to confirm no used games next?

I am getting my hopes up... that they're actually going through with this stupidity.



The question is do you have to just have an internet connection for the system to work or do you have to have XBOX Live for the system to work?

Maybe they will give people the option to have this. Like, people can turn on the option for keeping the Xbox always online or always on. So, people with no/bad internet can still use it.

I don't like this one bit. Just imagine they go on with this scheme and it PROVES SUCCESSFUL (weirdest things have happened!), I don't want this shit to become a standard for console gaming!!!!
