Lol what?
Yes please continue to give the company that keeps Netflex an Internet browser and Youtube behind pay walls the benefit of the doubt.
Because people continue to pay them for their rip off service this generation.
So if you think for one second the MS suits weren't looking for a way to further lock Xbox users into their ecosystem and continue to rape their wallets with "always online" and "No used games"your nuts.
Given the constant shit they're given for it why haven't they changed that then?
That in itself is a rumor.

That would explain why they've stopped putting more and more "free" services behind the paywall. Your assertion that Microsoft knee-jerk reacts to forum ragers is funny.
Because internal e-mails are never intentionally leaked to the press to create a story?
Who says knee jerk? This would be a simple firmware change. And as greedy as MS is even they have people to monitor forums and read the internet. They woke the fuck up to how HUGE a mistake this would have been the changed it.
Congratulations guys. After months of FUD, fanboyism and assumptions you guys look like fools.

Are you talking to the people right here specifically? Or are you trying to address the forum as some kind of monolithic entity?

Man after reading these posts in the thread I see shit has gotten REAL. I'm kinda glad to hear some positivity towards the Durango because that's my second choice after purchasing a Wii U.
I should just auto-ignore anyone with a Kaz avatar. This is getting stupid.
It's a pretty popular opinion on here and it's one I share. They've already raised the price once. What's stopping them from doing it again? It's not a matter of what, it's a matter of why not?

Don't think it is that easy to be honest. If they were going the "always online" strategy they likely would have been basing their entire OS on that idea. Reconfiguring could take 6 months (lol).
u understand that there r 40 millions of ppl that u r drawing like perfect idiots right?
u understand that ms as a company and not a charity mission....is there to make money..and xbl made it while psn....is being pretty much a loss for sony ...till psn+?
u know that if u love cinema and u cant use netflix (coz theres isnt in your country) the only possibility to watch decent (no pirated streaming) on a console is on xbox?
stop with this boring thing about xbl
ppl know what they r paying for.....they arent idiots and if they do ..theres something that they like
i got bot console ps3 and xbox...and i pay for xbl coz i can use it for cubovision and mediaset premium....
Don't get burned twice! Joking aside I'm glad there are some positive rumors. I think consoles might die if the Wii U and Nextbox both flopped.
Well I would imagine that an "off line" mode would be there already for development kits and demo kits. IF "always online" was the plan at first, but would should just be a matter of turning off Internet verifications for single playing game modes.
Please feel free to do what you like. I'm just stating my opinion of the situation just like you are. If you want to put me on ignore because I'm taking into account Microsoft recent history due to my avatar
Well.... what ever makes you a happy GAF poster.
Holy Fuck. Translation please.

flooey said:Of course, the existence of such a mass e-mail implies that this is a recent change in policy. My work never sends an e-mail to everyone to say, "Just FYI, the policy we've had this whole time is still the policy. Keep doing what you've been doing."
No, what you're actually doing is going into a positive Microsoft thread and shitting. That is what you're doing. The topic is about Microsoft not forcing online. If true, that's a good thing. But you saw that subject and thought it would make for a good opportunity to say "lol Microsoft is greedy", "XBL is a ripoff". Bravo.
before or later ..all console will become always online..#deal with it
if not this gen the next is sure
believe in my gorgeous avatar face, believe.
(can't wait till 21)
This still won't rule out the possibility of online activation for games. Yet it opens a much better scenario than the one pictured by recent rumors.
Because internal e-mails are never intentionally leaked to the press to create a story?
yeah, just ask Adam Orth.
There is no such thing as a positive thread you are on a Discussion forum and you should be aware that not everyone thinks the same way and has different opinions.

Well, he has a point.

Adam got fired for having "Microsoft Creative Director says deal with it to always online console" articles plastered all over media outlets and no other reason. Embarrass the company, get fired. Universal policy.

It's all well having opinions, i don't get why people who've said they've no interest in the next Xbox insist on spending all thier time in MS threads saying the same old comments.
It's like how many times do they need to say Live is shit? We get it, they don't like it or MS, but other people do.
