Always ON Xbox?

After hearing the news regarding an always online connected Xbox, has your excitement for the new console waned, or expected from all of the rumours to this point? I'm surprised that MS is heading in this direction considering that many people don't or can't have their consoles connected online. It seems like it will cater to a nice audience and a loss of potential sales. What do you guys think? Is MS dead to you?

Rumors are rumors dude, wait for next month to post this tripe

If, and only If, the next Xbox features always-on DRM, then i am getting the PS4. 100% certain of it. Let's wait and see.

It's not far from the truth, I think they are being smart and waiting on consumer reaction so they will have time to back-peddle!!! And you bet to believe Sony is watching how this whole thing plays out also!

I don't believe anything until I see it; I haven't seen the new Xbox so it would be foolish to write it off already.

If it does have to pick up a constant internet connection just to play a game I will not buy it, however.

If it requires a constant internet connection to play games, it's an instant no buy from me. I'll get a PS4 instead, or a PC. 

It won't matter even if they scrap the idea before launch, once they sell enough units they will just release an update and make it online only anyway. Not much people can do about it once they have already bought the console. Microsuck are a bunch of assholes. I have two 360's but I will not be buying the nextbox.

It's not like I will be missing anything anyway, except maybe Gears 7, Forza 10 and Halo 15.:lol:

I'm not buying the nextBox.....

My excitement has both waned a little in that it will complicate things for me to have an always on connection but I'm confident in Xbox, I'm anticipating greatly what the new Xbox will have and to be a part of their always on-something revolutionary. Im an Xbox loyalist-always on or not.:)

There is nothing else worth buying, I already have a good gaming PC, so a xbox 720 it is!
