Oh boy... are we talking about a video game machine or something of actual importance?

Go out there and put your life on the line and worry about whether or not this is the day everything below your knees gets blown off or if your buddy might not make it back to base.

You know, then you'll truly appreciate having an escape from reality, like a gaming system, so everyone can have fun and play.

 

Not sure if it was your intent, but your post comes off as incredibly disrespectful to those who risk their lives everyday so you can enjoy the things you do on a daily basis.

At ease, soldier.

My intent was to point out the Xbox One is just a gaming machine, just entertainment. If people in the military need something that's completely offline, go with offline options. There are other options on the market.

MS has a right to make an online console even if its inconvenient for some people.

You're over reacting.

I'm a MS fan, but if for whatever reason I can't get access to the internet. I'll just go to the PS4. Its MS's loss, not mine.

Sorry, i'm a bit touchy when it comes to this stuff. Many family members have served.
