[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="Sajo7"] Wow seriously? This is looking more and more like a PC gen for me.* *Assuming those stats are legit, where did you find them?BossPerson

I'm just gonna guess its all marketing bullshit. it doen't seem like it could actually work.

Xbox One is the next Gen watercooler

We shouldn't. SimCity legitimately had to always be connected. With the Xone, presumably once it's connected once for that day/cycle, it doesn't matter if your connection goes down while playing.

But they plan on having games that will use cloud computing. What happens when the cloud goes down, or my internet goes out when I'm playing this game that is heavily reliant on the cloud?

I have no clue. I'd like to think once/if they start using the cloud as a secondary source of power that they will have some sort of backup plan in case it goes down for a length of time. Again, I don't think consoles should HAVE to be connected either but I'm just trying to put it in a somewhat rational light.

Pirate700

No, you're trying put it in a good light. :P I don't want my console to rely on the cloud in order to play a game. There are too many times my internet goes out, even for just a couple of minutes because my wife accidentally kicked over the router.

so if Xbox one needs to be connected to the internet, how is it connected? Do you hook it up to a phone line via a wire, do you need a special wireless adapter, or does it have a built in receptor that could connect wirelessly to the internet if you have a router (I think laptops and now some desktops have those built in wi-fi receptors).

Says it has both an ethernet port and wireless.

Also what do you need to hook the 360 up to Xbox live? Would I need another router or wireless adaptor? I have a router in my parents' room attached to the desktop and my sister's laptop is able to get internet wirelessly because of that router, so can I connect my 360 just with that (it's in my room, which is next to my parents' room so it's fairly close to the router)? I'm interested in hooking it up so I can download Halo 2 onto it. (Since I have Halo 1 Anniversary edition, 3, 4, ODST and Reach), I recently beat Reach and the first two levels of Halo CE Anniversary Edition, so I'de like to download 2 (since the disk would only work on the original Xbox) and maybe play that before going on to re-beat 3 and then play 4.

Okay so I could hook it up to a phone jack through the port (though that means I'de have to figure out where to put it, I can't think of any phone jacks in my house that it would make sense for me to hook the xbox 3 (or "one") up to). Wireless seems like a good idea (still I'de prefer a console to only require a tv, the console and control,the disk or cartidge, a tv and a power source, not adding the extra requirement of an internet connection).

Do you really not know what the difference is between a phone and ethernet cable? No, the Xbox One requires broadband, that mean it cannot go through phone lines. While they look similar, ethernet cables are bigger and the ports are larger as well.

Here's another fun fact: girls can tell a good looking guy apart from a ugly one.

the ethernet cables are the yellow ones right (I thought they were gray but I checked on my computer and the yellow one is labled as "ethernet")? There is one of those hooked into my router. Also isn't DSL broadband. I have DSL and my router is hooked into the phone jack.

whipassmt

Ethernet cables can be any color.

See how the Cat 5(ethernet) cable is bigger?

Your DSL modem may plug into the phone jack, but you still must have a ethernet cable going from your router into the Xbox One, or you must connect wirelessly.

Get a better router that has more LAN ports, or buy the adapter for the 360.

I like the Malcolm X quote 

Lol at this thread.

I will resist the temptation to join the system discussion.

Tc, it certainly is bullshit and makes me sick to my stomach to think that the rich are BLATANTLY avoiding prosecution simply because they are rich and powerful.  It's hard for my mind to comprehend how this goes on and right in front of our faces with no effort to hide it.

Not a fact.

Pirate700

When written like that it looks like the Greek letter X, which has a "ch" sound. So "chone". I think that's what I'm gonna call the new Microsoft console from now on.
