Ive read the OP twice.

Ive read every post in the thread.

Im trying to figure out what the "point" of this thread is. Why? Why is this thread here? What does it aim to achieve and what does it tell us?

Edit -

Nah, it is my entire point.  You may need internet for 5-60 seconds a day yet you are complaining on something that requires internet completely.

Oh.

Okay

Damage control.

For anyone saying they have internet on their phones but not in their home, and how that's a dealbreaker since they think that means they won't be able to use the X1, I point you to this statement from the Xbox Wire:

"In areas where an Ethernet connection is not available, you can connect using mobile broadband." So if your mobile broadband is reliable, your X1 will connect to the cloud through that, even in your internet goes down for some reason for a few days. Problem solved.

That is all. Carry on with your arguments.


Oh snap! Mobile hot spots huh!? I have an iPhone so I don't have that.... It's ok though because I can buy an additional service for that!!! This is dumb...

 

Edit: nevermind the fact that there are data caps on cell services.... Connect to the cloud with it? Hell no. This argument is stupid as well FYI

Its not that it affects me personally but it seems to have no benefit to the consumer so I dont agree with it, combining it with the whole used games thing just makes Xbox One unapealing at the moment.

Would u be ok with ur DVD/Blu Ray player or TV requiring an internet access?

I guess it would be OK to have an internet check for books, music, movies, car keys/car, etc. as well then (if they had a network interface of some sort). Not that there's anything wrong with it, just sayin' it ain't my cup of tea.

When a VGC membership costs $300-400 + $60 to take part in a thread, you'll have a point.

What a pointless comparisson. You don't have to use the Internet to play Fallout 3. But its absolutely necessary to use VGChartz.

Listen, I get it guys, you don't like the Xbox One and you hate things about it.  I'm cool with that, but I find it very ironic that the people complaining about Xbox One having to access the internet once every 24 hours are also frequent forum visitors.  I mean apparently it is also rather bs that we need access to the internet to post on this very site.  I can't think of the last time that I have not had access to the internet for 24 hours.  But hey, if you really can't then just don't buy it, but by commenting on an internet site is kind of ironic.

I am not trying to justify the Xbox One for you guys after all it is your own opinion(Don't like it, don't buy it), but I do enjoy the irony although Im sure I will have a few people to say how dumb I am for making this thread.

I assume you have internet as well XD

Sorry but this argument is idiotic. A website lives on a server that you need the Internet to access, thus it's fine to "require" and Internet connection. A single player game is contained in its own environment and requires no interaction with outside data, thus a "required" Internet connection is getting hate.
