    This just boggles the mind, what are these guys up to.

    My windows pc doesnt stop working when my internet connection goes down. Ooh maybe that feature will get introduced with windows blue/8.1, neat.

    lol sorry I couldn't resist I will stop.


    Oh please for the love of that is good and holy do not introduce that "feature" into my windows 7 lol

    OT: this seems to be a pattern not just an isolated report unless someone has a very elaborate hoax going on it does seem that the new Xbox will have a DRM imbedded into it's OS.

    The old one has DRM, so does the PS3.
    Its a matter of what DRM. Although this isnt really DRM, its forcing a market due to greed.
    It will have no effect other than to limit sales and/or make people patch their XBoxes to play offline.
    And with patched offline play will come a loss of sales due to the way patched games will be distributed.

    Assuming this is MSs intention btw :p

    Ohhh.... Orthy, my dear little pumpkin pie Orthy.

    It looks like Playstation 4 has won the next generation of Console Wars and the next generation of consoles haven't even launched yet.

    Doesn't bother me TBH. Would use at home only and never had any issues with my broadband. And even if I did, I just fire up the PS4 or PC. Or even go do something else instead. No biggy.

    i wonder if this will affect the current xbox360 and games i have now. If thats the case im gonna install everything i have ever bought from Xboxlive Marketplace, transfer my licences and then take my xbox offline for good so that if Microsh*t decides to send a random update to my console that makes all my games completely unavailable offline i will not be affected!


    as far as this is concerned:
    im not buying either of the new consoles!!!!! THEY ARENT GETTING MY MONEY!!... ill stick with my xbox360 and my PC and my PS3 thank you... I have a huge ass library of games for these systems and dont need to start one on another new console expecially if the media i purchase for them will only be available "online"..


    This is why i HATE games/game services that you have to pay monthly subs for.... im not paying for a game more that once just to be able to play it... i pay for it once, and shouldnt have to pay for it all over again next month! i allready have monthly bills, i dont need more monthly bills.

    The iPad is pretty much useless without internet too.

    Doesn't bother me much either. I'm still going to buy one. Sony can kiss my @ss with their crapstation
