Great for it, that still doesn't disprove my point that if you are able to spend $500+ you shouldn't have crappy internet.


Some people just live in crappy internet areas, money has nothing to do with it. Rich people can live out in the country as well you know, being well off doesnt improve local telephone infrastructure. 


If you are rich you are able to afford the more pricey option to improve you conection by going with satellite providers.  Or they can create a hotspot through their cell phone which probably has the best and fasted plan available.

Really, you expect people to get a satellite connection for people who are just buying a £400 console... lol. Sorry that is pretty rediculous.

I have very good internet because i am close to the exchange (so i am making the point this does not affect me...). But many people are not, or they have limited broadband and have data allowances. If they have a 1 or 2GB monthy allowance, they could easily use up a months allocation for one patch to make it work.

Just cause someone can afford a £400 console doesnt mean they can afford expensive 4G connections etc. They might have been saving all year long etc.

Now I agree MS are in a difficult position, they had to remove DRM, and delaying the console would be a disaster for them, but they should be considering how to provide this information to the general user, so that they can make that decision. I suspect after a few million consoles the next will have the right software on (or those that are being made any day will)... so at that point its all good.
