@surferosh @consoletroll - i know this dudes - however most games favor a mostly online multiplayer component , with a very small singleplayer campaign. How many times have you been booted from an online game due to connection. Internet is pretty much already a requirement . Not to mention how can they sell you subscriptions to live,netflix,ect.. without a connection?

OH damn, how will i watch netflix and and play cod multiplayer off line? I hate you microsoft. Those millions who mostly buy your console for online play are the minority. I want to play xbla indie games all day.

Real fishy stuff here. This shit has to be a hoax or something. It will never come out. Psy-Ops I suppose. valve/ steam got alot of publicity out of this. Like others have said how is this a better value than an intel NUC or new Amd with similar spec and footprint for less than half the price.
