Always on, always connected isnt as big a problem as its made out to be. I cant be assed looking up facts and figures while im eating my breakfast but internet, regardless of speed is widespread enough to start looking at Always on, Always connected. Also, whos to say Microsoft dont build in a sim card slot? It wouldnt support online play but would let the console stay connected.

Just to be clear, I think always on, always connected is a shit idea regardless of how well its implemented. I agree that 2nd hand games profits should be divided amoungst retailers, developers and publishers but their ae better ways to do it instead of just trying to shut the door completly.

I think you are getting the wrong idea. In the leaked image there is no indication that the console HAS to be connected to work, it just says that it's possible for the console to update the OS/games while in a low power/standby mode.

Neither is there any indication of blocking the 2nd hand market.
