| wilco said: Its not blocking used games and its not always-on... It is whether or not the cable and Television apps will require Xbox Live Gold. That is ultimately all I want to know right now. I've given up on xbox as a gaming device but I have to admit, the prospect of a set top box that I may occasionally be able to play games on is intriguing. My current cable box only allows me to watch tv, why not replace it with an xbox? The way I see it Xbox this gen will be what my PS3 was last gen, a multimedia device. My PS3 gets so little play time that I went ahead and sold the controller. Instead I use it as a blu ray player and netflix streaming device (netflix on xbox has a horrible interface). I guess, the other consideration is whether or not PS4 will also have the same capabilities close to launch in which case I may not buy the nextbox after all. |
