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 connecteddont 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.

 There are so many stories doing the rounds regarding Nextbox that its hard to seperate rumours. Everybody seems to have a different interpretation of what this document means. I havnt read itproperly to be honest so thank you for correcting me. I read a different thread based on this document and they interpretted it as no connection, no game. Its all conjecture at this point.

My point on the 2nd hand market was just thinking aloud.
