You still think the next Xbox will require you to be online?

All though the respected magazine Edge said "We are certain in our source" I still think a always online requirement would be a deal breaker for many. Im always online myself, but it will prevent me from using my Xbox when I go away on boat, military and bringing it with me elsewhere.

all the rumors about the PS4 were true and the same source was the one that leaked the next-Xbox info too. Unless M$ does some very last minute changes the specs are already there and they are crap.

Yet all of the PS4 rumors have come true thus far. That's pretty amazing given that rumors are usually faulty to some degree. I think the PS4 is furher along than the 3rd box and that is why the rumors have been accurate. 

If the rest of the rumors are true, PS4 will be $429 & $529 sku's at launch and PSN will still be free with PS+ being pay.

If your always online, it means more ad revenue for microsoft so yes, and will probably charge the use more for xbl because it will be more expensive to always keep you online.

well...it is something you could expect a company like MS to try.  Their fans let them get away with so much already, why would'nt they search for new ways to get deeper in their pockets.

It may have been true at the time of the leak, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be true at the time of launch. MS have plenty of time to feel out customer reaction to leaks and rumours before launch. If it becomes apparent to them that always online will be a deal breaker for a lot of consumers I expect they will drop it pretty damn fast.

Erm, the rumour wasnt always online anyway. it was online activations similar to steam, and a requirement of a microsoft account.

Yes and that rumour has been morphed into that. the original source was more along the lines of activation. How stupid can you be? a console knocking you off ALL your games and services if you lose connection? the notion is stupid.

It does sound stupid doesnt it, just like "wtf, how stupid is paying xbl to play your own games that you bought online?" The question is, why are you getting so butthurt about people talking about it?

I have yet to see a reason to believe any of these negative rumors are true.

I'm hoping for a good showing from MS but I'm not entirely sure if MS is going to be directly competing with Sony and instead of Apple, Google, etc.

Rumors point to that but i don't believe it,it would be suicide. Imaging the internet going down,people moving up it would mean that you would not be able to use your console at all.

The patent has nothing to do with the ps4 as according to a eurogamer interview. and the rumors he is talking being spot on about are vgleaks and egde, no rumors about used games from them, or anyone else credible.

Not. Edge wrote that they had spoken to people with first hand experience with the new Xbox, and they told Edge that the console will require you to always be online in order to play.

To me that's what's concerning about these next Xbox rumors. 

I'm ok with online activation of some sort, but requiring a constant connection? That's just stupid. My wireless signal drops for a couple of seconds multiple times a day, does that mean I'm going to be kicked out of any game I'm playing? I hope not.

It sounds terrible, my internet was out for hours during snowstorm nemo and playing games during that passed the time. Maybe they will have an offline mode, but no rumors for that yet.
