http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-06-13-xbox-one-check-in-will-need-kilobytes-not-megabytes for those who worry about connection . You can even use phone tethering to connect .

Why should someone have to bother doing tethering or whatever, for a device that plays game content?  Why demand the do this?  And that check in is lame.  It is ONLY, and I repeat ONLY for authentication.  It has NOTHING for doing updates or whatever?  It is just for cracking down on used game sales, and really nothing else.

Why do people play steam? Why do people  need to conenct onlien to play games on steam?  Why is steam really popular? Is the way of teh future and irts boudn to happen  .  Sharing gaems to friends hwo would never pay a diem and repa the benefits of finishing the SP and multiplayer is worng and piracy. Whats teh difference in waitign  for a new game to drop in price then buyign teh second hand game. As you gusy buy it because its cheaper right? Why ot wait for ne game to drop in price.Same concept right .

1. Your spelling is horrible here.  Not sure what the heck you are saying.  I can try to decode it, but not bothering here.  Maybe you are trying to type via a portable device.

2. Stream is a different beast.  The whole tethering is a bunch of work you have to do, to get it to work.  Steam is what you have installed and you can click on it and view.  You can also have it start up in offline mode.  It is an entirely different beast.  My comment went to the demands to do extra work just to get the ownership authentication to work.  People don't want to put up with extra work just to placate  company.
