All I read on these forums is the negatives about these changes, not one of you relentlessly bashing these changes has any foresight to see the future benefits of this system. In 5 years time a lot of you are going to look frankly stupid imo. The change is coming as Steam has shown over the last 10 years, it's time you all started considering all the angles and not just your negative narrow viewpoint.

A connected console was always the direction Microsoft was taking ever since they committed to building the Xbox Live environment. In a few years you will see Sony desperately back tracking to add a internet connection requirement for a enhanced experience as you see all the extra functionality that having a permanent internet connection will produce.

I've never been without internet for 24 hours in over 10 years at home and for the last 4/5 years I've always had a backup 3G wifi connection courtesy of my phone wherever I go, some people really do live in the dark ages if this site is to be believed.

Don't bother quoting/replying to me, I have no intention of debating with the same people rehashing the same whinging that they've been doing for the last 3 weeks. We'll see by the end of the year just how many people are really bothered by these policies outside of gaming forums.



I feel the same, I also have had a internet connection for a long time. Also with the Google fiber coming out. It's only a matter of time prices drop drastically and everyone is online.
