Like I said I've only read the first 4 pages in the thread and then thought I'd check his twitter. Lol.
This guy sounds like a major douche!!
I think I'll be reading up on this thread all weekend to catch up with everything this guy's been up to. Great. Love twitter drama!!!

I get the impression vg247 are not fussy on Xbox much but still, that video is funny as fuck
You just made me realize how Twitter could be profitable! They could charge for .sigs that do not count to the 140 char limit. Sig file will be attached to the twitter account and showed after every tweet by that user. They could charge for use of this service as well as change of .sigs and rotation of .sigs.
It's okay. In 8-12 years when the NBN is installed near your home you'll be always on and lightning speed! You...don't mind waiting for that time right?

I love Francis' videos. One of the best Youtube characters.
The reality is that stuff like this doesn't reeeally matter in the grand scheme of things.

When his face turns red and he rants I lose it
Check the OP.
There was someone else who provided some information as well
And by the way, Sweet Billy was created in 2007.
I guess that combined with alot of other facts, shows that this is no troll.
Like life, one can say.

It sucks that we would have to wait 8 or 10 years for MS to get their heads out of their asses if the rumors are true.

If anyone is keeping count, I will also not buy this console if it has an always online requirement.
You forgot the part where a ridiculous amount of people and the media are taking it as a 100% conformation and various people are either leaping to the defence of Microsoft or jumping down their throat.
On the basis of a twitter rant.
well whats done is done . none of us can stop this trainwreck anymore even if we wanted to .
the news is spreading like wildfire across the net.
Now as long MS refuses to answer this thing will just keep growing and growing
Hell i wouldn't be supprised if CNN or FOX news join in the dogpile.

Elaborate troll?
Like a LEGO troll or a Golem troll?
I don't think so. He seems to be only an ass...

I just feel like all these rumors only really are coloring the hardcore's view- the general consumer has no idea.

For Microsoft it was actually first console curse, but whatever. People don't seem to know when to use this expression anymore.

Reading this thread from the beginning has been surreal, seeing its effects spread in real time.
It has blossomed into something beautiful.

Hahahahahahahah
Could Microsoft not use this to sneak in some other consumer unfriendly policies/practices but disguise it under 'tada...we do do allow offline play', people rejoice in something that should have been thee al along and quietly forget about the other smaller things microsoft sneaked in?
lol, haven't seen this one before.
imagine if therre was gold all around you in your community. In wires, rail lines, installations, whatever. Imagine you were poor or just a plain greedy criminal. Would you not try to get your hands on that?
let me present to you the highly valuable metal that is

Yes. Sometimes they manage stealing trolleybus wires too (no jokes here, just Ukraine).
I doubt they'll comment on it.

Imagine this was one big MS troll. Positioning themselves as an anticonsumer device only to reveal that it's the complete opposite!

"Microsoft does not comment on rumours or speculation. We are always thinking about what is next for our platform, but we don't have anything further to share at this time."
I'm pretty sure I just woke up in the middle of the night cause of this thread

I don't think Gaf is under any illusion any more about the wider implications of always online or lack there of.
We all fought through the Wii years. Us remaining survivors are left beaten and broken, but also somewhat older and wiser.

Wire stealing also happens a lot here in Portugal. Sometimes several miles of wiring disappear from night to day, copper is very valuable.
