Makes sense, but nice to know Microsoft always had a plan B. Unfortunately that does mean you'll have to connect ONCE to the internet at launch to get that patch. My guess is with future production it won't be necessary, but initial produced units will require this.

Microsoft never had a plan B, they changed the software because the bad press from the fans and early adopters forced their hand. They underestimated the power of the internet and news surfacing. We'll just keep forcing it until they make a usable console for gamers.

It was Sony

 

Sony announced that they weren't doing the drm, then MS buckled under the god damned pressure

 

This generation doesn't start until Sony says so lol

Microsoft was siding with EA to force Sony to crack under the pressure and accept DRM. Its always Microsoft taking the side of the f'n publishers and Sony left the decision up to the people. The media then questioned EA letting them know the people were watching them and EA backed down on its DRM policies. Microsoft backing down is a one two punch to both themselves and EA. 

I am so happy for Xbox loyalists! DRM FREE GAMING FOR ALL! FUCK YES! ENJOY YOUR XBOX!
