No Xbox One for me [View all]

So Microsoft has had their big announcement and I've looked over what they have to offer and decided... Fuck you Microsoft & Xbox.

Looks like the required internet connection is true. I often play without an internet connection and do not want to be limited by only being able to play when it's there.

I also hate the way they are dancing around the question... Just fucking answer it, from the article:

"No, it does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet."

And the reason it needs this?

"There are many devices in your life that require the Internet to function," he said. "Xbox One is no different in that it requires, at some point in the beginning and at various times through its on state, to connect to our cloud and to our Internet. That is to deliver Xbox Live functionality, that is to deliver download content to you, that is to deliver some of the innovations around TV and entertainment that we showed today. But it doesn’t require it to be online all the time."

Fuck you Microsoft.

oh... Then there is the whole creepy ass 'it's always listening to you' bullshit:

Yeah... I'll stick with Fuck you Microsoft.
