It also says this
The next Xbox will allow publishers to decide if their games should require an internet connection to be played.
and this
The fact that offline gameplay, always online and one-time checks are supported, means that in the future, publishers will have much greater control over copyright protection for their games.
And this
the decision of whether a game will require an internet connection to work and if that is a one-time authentication or a constant connection, will be left up to individual publishers.
Now once again this is a rumor and I'd prefer to wait for a confirmation but if you are going to argue about this rumor then at least read the entire thing rather than just one.

If you had read my original comment in this forum, I did read the enitre thing and even commented as such. He came in here with the explicit intent of causing trouble.
There is still some sort of requirement for online, but it could be like Steam in that you can register the game and then play it offline, or that you need to be connected in order to access XBLA games, or the media stuff etc etc. We just don't know at this point.

I went back to read your first comment.
Sounds like you have the right idea. If all this is true I think it is a good decision on Sony/MSft's part. I don't mind if Publishers/Developers have the choice to do so. Some will and some won't use it.
