Its not an issue. Its DRM. Its whats meant to do. Xbox live was down for a few hours and all the new consoles during that time where unusable. Again. Question is is this only a first time thing? Or will this be requiered on a specific interval. If I remember corectly during the x1 they wanted a once a day check. 

So without internet, can't do anything with it? That will suck on Christmas day when these services and isps are sure to do down again.

How is it with ps5? Can that work out of the box without internet?

From the FAQ at least PS4 BC works without any need of internet (unless you want to patch it for the PS5 updates or need to download a digital version of the game), for PS5 games I dunno, but I believe you will play without internet if you want

There doesn't seem to be any widespread faults on Xbox Series though. Every console launch has these rocky examples. And now that everyone is on SoMe, we're 100% sure to see them. PS5 will get its fair share of faulty reports as well.

Also, those quote trees. Cut them down guys

Seriously what the hell? Thats suposed to be automatic cut to 3 reply. Was that an error with the update? Thats not something I will bother with on my phone.

Yeah. Could it be that MS has sneaked into their new consoles all the things that they got flak for when the previous gen was launched..

which was already a silly point in 2013expecially in light of the fact that I had to register WC3 in 2002, with a cdkey

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

hows that first guy having series x footage?seeing as his previous video titles "My Xbox Series X is BROKEN..."

He sent one to repair, and had another arrive to test things on.
Ei. he has 2 Xbox series X's, and one of them broke.

Luckily, microsoft will fix his broken one, or send him a new one as a replacement (likely within a week or two).
Meanwhile (hense luckily), he still has the other one to play on and test things on.

*edit: he explains this in his "my xbox series X is broken" video.
Luckily he order two of them (from differnt places), to increase his odds of getting one (and ended up getting both orders through).

How the hell are we already getting broken consoles?

All things man made will fail eventually. Only a matter of when not if.

All consumer electronics typically have a MTBF or "Mean-Time-Between-Failures" which is a weighted average that a device should last. - And thus you will always have a percentage of devices which will actually fail the day you take it out of a box and some that will last decades, it's the way it goes.

This trend seems to be applying to consoles more and more unfortunately and with the different spec of consoles all out at the moment I dont really see it getting any better. Hence I tend to favour exclusives.

It's also Ubisoft, they will prioritize a single platform and treat all others like second class citizens.

I know all electronics can have defects, it is just that is so frustrating to have your console failing in day one.
