Im starting to see the point of the Xbox Online connection. Your phone is always connected to your providers network, your cable box is always connected, so why not Xbox?

Since when do we care what less developed countries can or can't do with Xbox, so long as we ourselves have it? Since when did selfish and fan centric gamers care about less fortunate? lol please....this is yet another excuse to bash MS when the issue doesn't effect people here...since we all have internet to be able to post here.

MS can easily do a firmware update or make it optional in countries that have spotty internet anyway.

Personally I don't want to be dependend on my or a companies servers' internet connection to just play some console games.

Ya, I agree we should play a game offline regardless of connection and it should be allowed, good thing that is something that can be easily remedied with a simple firmware update.

So  you pretty much agree that a console that must always be online is a bad idea and there's nothing wrong with us consumers wanting to keep our rights that we've enjoyed the past 40 years as gamers. How does that not contradict your first post?

Its a bad idea when trying to play a offline game. It is doable to be always on but have a seperate mode for when you just want to play a single player game. Keep our rights........shouldnt you be "occupying" something? :P

A seperate mode for when you want to play a single player game. If Nintendo made a console that required you to go into a seperate mode just to play a single player game, you'd be telling it to get out of the dark ages.
