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.

If this is a system-level thing, Microsoft probably  has full control over it. They might even change their minds by the time it launches. This could be the reason for the delay in the announcement, they don't know what the hell they're doing yet.

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?

BOTH. Althoug you could have a Silver account, this would be the perfect way for Microsoft to push all their entertainment services on you, including XBL Gold.
