to bad you cant just turn off kincet

Makati has a stable internet. I'll give you but that becasue it is the business district of our country, almost all the rich people are there.

Some question have you visited a lot of places from the Philippines? Have you experience a strong tyhpoon?

You know because I have. 

After a  strong typhoon I have experienced days up to week without an internet connection you know why? Because it was damaged by the typhoon even our cable line got damaged. No cable and internet for days luckily I have a console that can play games on those days. Can I do that with the Xbone? 

Did you know last week when I created the Japan sales thread? I can't even post it properly due to unstable connection.

Majority of places in Philippines has a poor connection. Even in NCR and Major cities from other regions, there some places with an unstable connection . Some of my friend even complain that there's no interent connection in their home.  

Philippines isn't just ready  for the Xbone ATM. We aren't always on. 

The deal breakers:

- Play offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console
- Play offline up to one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library
- Can’t game offline after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and Blu-ray and DVD movies

- Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers

- Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch

I wonder if they actually mean "one at a time", if not, DEAL BREAKER:

- Requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once

IMO, these (the ones listed above) are all stupid decisions and I hope SONY doesn't follow suit.

It took time for Steam to grow and for the PC market to adapt to the lockdown of content that the PC market saw before insanely cheap games and constant deals started to happen in the PC market. Expecting MS to put Forza 5 online for digital download for $40 is not realistic at all and makes no sense.

You earlier said you "live off of selling used games", why should MS or Sony or Nintendo or any of the publishers pander to you at all? You're not a customer of them.

What Kaz have to say about...

this cant be real, but the first one almost killed me

hahaha! Those are killer, especially the third one.

The 24 hours connection policy makes me think MS doesn't care about the military.

MS IS UNPATRIOTIC CONFIRMED!!!

thinking back on my comments. Im really not surprised you have people who only care about whats going on in their life and how it affects THEM. Does this affect me in anyway? no my internet connection is pretty good. But theres no way I'm gonna be ignorant to the fact that MS making this decision affects alot of people. Alot of people i used to rock with on the original and 360..But i guess we live in the day and age where if its not affecting you personally then we ASSUME everyone else isnt affected by this decision. But i guess we would have to put ourselves in other people shoes to think this way which most of us arent capable of doing..But if MS message is if you dont have access to the internet or live in a low income neighborhood or whatever reason . Then i'll guess ill go with the bandwagon and spread that message too.

Interesting how people pick and choose when they care about the first - sale doctrine.  I do not rememeber anyone calling Blizzard or Valve up about their first sale doctrine??
