hmmm
always online means something big.
1) they'll drop XBLive for certain parts of online activity
2) they'll force everyone to have XBLive if you own a NXbox
3) they'll use a subscription purchase structure so everyone has XBLive.
That I'm ok with.
What I don't like is the loss of used gaming. Means you also lose ability to borrow or bring your game to a friend's house... unless its tied to your XBLive ID and therefore you just log into your buddies machine. MS would more than likely do that than lose some of that feature capability.
They'll also likely offer a $10 pass or something to allow used games to continue while making something from it.
