*SIGH* If the next Xbox needs to be internet connected to be used, yes it is "draconian". Can't wait till May 21st to clear this shit up.

Id it really though? I mean...really?

Or is it just a really nice juicy negative to pipe on about over and over again?

It's certainly not good, but it's likely a deal breaker only for the technically informed and people who weren't going to buy it anyway.

I don't know when I'm playing online and hear people on their mics or on facebook IGN stories and a lot say something like "it's always on no way I'm getting that" or always on is the same thing as no used games to them which is an even bigger deal.
