Xbox One System Discussion

[metaldud]

great news they turned around on the always on internet connection but i could also see where they were trying to go with it.

"Wait! Xbox isn't down yet. He's pulling himself up by the ropes!!"

Where's the animated gifs?

Didn't you say no more?

Oh yeah...

I got a Question regarding Xbox One

If I wanted to Download a Game via Xbox Live, would it continue downloading even if the console is turned off?

I would guess it will include the download in background option you can turn on in setting that the 360 had. But until it comes out I doubt we will know for sure.

Of course, there's nothing to stop them from changing these features back on once they've sold the initial units and they're in our homes. I'll take this news with a heavy grain of salt, and probably wait a year before I decide if I want one of these.

All this news means is that it will not be forced on us by MS like the PS4 won't have it forced by Sony. This DOES NOT mean that companies like EA and Activision won't enforce this themselves.

Nice. It was a royal pain in the *** when Anonymous made PSN **** the bed.

 

[Privyet]

whyd they do that? I forgot why

 

[Snake Plissken]

Stole credit card information so Sony shut the network down for like a week or so. It's been awhile so I forget. I don't remember their reasoning for it.

 

[Shropt]

I think that was after Sony let hackers get all of our information from PSN and SOE and anonymous was trying to prove a point.

 

[GasparZizou]

But did anonymous really take responsibility for that?

They're hacktivists, not thiefs.

Anonymous did the DoS, not the theft of the info. I think...

Xbox One will not require an internet connection to play offline games or need to check in every 24 hours; instead, internet will only be required when initially setting up the console.

Xbox One will also no longer restrict used games, and will instead allow discs to be exchanged in the same way they are on Xbox 360.

Well, well. Apparently consumers won this round, though who knows what might be lurking behind the corner.

Anyways, sounds much better. I could live with that. I mainly update my 360 2 or 3 times per year, so one internet check with initial startup isn't hardly that bad.
