Even Kaz is trolling now. Even Kaz is hyped about the 720.

so the news has been on some mainstream outlets too. Time, NBC, Yahoo etc. Apparently the reddit post has been taken down by the mods

[Update] We received an official statement from Microsoft, via the company's PR firm Edelman, concerning the tweets sent by Microsoft Studios' creative director Adam Orth last evening.

The statement reads as follows:

"We are aware of the comments made by an employee on Twitter. This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views are not reflective of those of the company. We have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter."

"Deal with it" That's what the creative director chose to say. Is this going to create major issues? Well to me it looks like many XBox fans should be pissed off by now.

You'd like that wouldn't you? Since the thing won't actually release until November, assuming we are early adopters (I personally won't be), getting pissed off at rumors, and something that can be fixed with a simple firmware update, doesnt make sense.

so how exactly do you feel about this "always online" rumor potentially being true?

Well if its true, which it looks like it could be, then it's just ridiculous.

Although I'm more of a Sony or Nintendo man myself, I know plenty of people who have a 360. But this is just annoying us all, and you vote with your wallets after all. It just seems like a one way road to disaster, and even considering the possibility of it being true for any console from any company shows what a worrying g time we are in now.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
