| DJEVOLVE said: 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. 1.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. 2.How many software companies failed last gen due to Used game sales? And why didn't you see this coming? 3.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. 4.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.

1. I live in NYC and my internet was cut out the other day for almost the whole day and it was because my provider just decided to do it (this happens quite often), i have no choice in my interent provider either. So tell me why in this large Metroplitan City that the internet goes out if we supposedly live in a world with always connected.
2. I believe actually No companies falied this last gen because of used game sales, I believe it was mainly because of the over spending on the development of games and the poor management of companies by publishers. Just look at THQ.
3. Not only for the reasons they said it, But after the show they Expained what 3rd Party Developers will be able to do, while the XBone is more similar to what has been done before on SimCity and Diablo 3. Oh and the Simple Fact the PS4 does not need to be Connected .... EVER

4. No, only a one time borrowing usage is not going to go over all that well.
While i love what google fiber is trying to do there is a reason why they are not spread across the US and that is because of the Oligopoly Market of cable and internet providers, they are all the same and they all will fight google even in the court systems. So maybe one day we can be where the XBone wants us to be, but as of right now even in the US we arent that close to being online all of the time.
And you say most of the threads that are against the XBone are just Flame threads, well then dont go in them, if thats how you view them than worry about your own experience.
