From the Kotaku article, here's the main quote

"If there isn't a connection, no games or apps can be started," the source continued. "If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time--currently three minutes, if I remember correctly--the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started."

The guy he was arguing with on twitter claims it was "trolling".

I have never considered switching away from Microsoft and their console.... always figured I would move on to whatever came after the 360.... now I am very unsure of that.... this stuff sounds awful.

Alienating your consumer base aint worth shutting down pirates and game sharing IMO.... I guess after RROD they think their PR is invincible.

Report: Next Xbox reveal due May 21, costs $500, or $300 with a subscription

So there will be an event on the 21st of May to reveal the next console. It'll apparently cost $500 for the normal console, and there will be a subscription based $300 console.

This article also says it'll launch in early November.

But that "always-online" bullshit sounds like it's actually going to happen.

Regarding the console's rumoured "always-online" component, Thurrot reiterated what we knew already - that previous Microsoft design documents have mentioned the feature.

"Looking at some of the stuff I got a long time ago, it actually says 'must be internet-connected to use' in the notes," Thurrot claimed. "And that's all I have, but it does say that."

If I buy a new system it's probably the PS4 unless it's confirmed the new XBox doesn't always have to be online.

Leaning towards PS4 for me.

I only play sports games, GTA, and COD---all available on PS4

Also, I want a good baseball game for gods sakes---advantage PS4 with 'The Show'

Unless Xbox gets 'The Show' or an equally good baseball game on their lineup, im switching to Sony
