I'm writing this because of all the article's posted non-stop seeming by people with Sony plastered all over their sig. Maybe just a coincidence.
Really ask your self, when is the last time I have not had internet? and if you have not had it, maybe you should be worrying about other things rather then gaming on $400-$500 systems.
How many software companies failed last gen due to Used game sales? And why didn't you see this coming?
Why do you think it's going to be that much different on PS4? Sony said they are leaving it up to game developers. So meaning most third party will require this.
Internet is the future. Google Fiber is making it's way around the U.S. and I can see it making massive leaps in the next 5 years.
You can borrow your friends games when your not using them, They also can't break your disc or lose your copy. you own your game forever, ever and ever. It
can't get broke. You just redownload it.
Anecdotal evidence: The only friends of mine who are having major issues, are the people that never buy games in the first place and when they do, it's used. My 20 year old brother doesn't have a issue with it, if he can afford internet, you can too.
Also lets be honest, most of you posting threads are just really flaming. Most of you never intended on buying xbox one.
If you are not going to buy it and never where anyway. Stop the doom threads. Go buy a WiiU. I own one, it's great. So lets just chill out with doomed/flame threads.
Internet is here to stay and google is going to make sure of that. Also lets have some positive feed back from Xbox fans, what policies do you like? what games? features? What about Illumi-room? and did anyone see it at E3? This is something I want to see a lot more on.
Also if you worried about privacy, Get up and unplug the Device after every use. It really is that simple. I highly doubt xbox is going to spy on you and why would they have to? Your phone has a microphone, camera, phone records, text records and your name is attached to it. If they where going to spy, it would be on your phone.

Gamestop record profits that would have been spent on Games and remember, most people are only saving $5 dollars on used games.
