VGLeaks: First look at Durango XDK (always connected, kinect required, no play from optical discs))

[Kantor]

The document certainly states that Kinect is required, yes. But I think the other two things in your title are a little bit shaky.

Firstly, there are optical discs. They are just not used in gameplay. Think along the lines of every PC game of the last five years.

Secondly, I didn't get the impression from the text that "always connected" meant that you needed an internet connection to use the console. That just seems absurd. It means that when you put the console on standby, you have the option of letting the downloads continue.
