It was a joke, but there are people that dont have the internet for reasons besides affordability.What is wrong with him saying that? If you can't get access to the internet how are you able to afford a new console?

There is little to no correlation between wealth and having access to the internet.
Do you really think this an ideal implementation that anyone should be endorsing? Baseline functionality for every game console that has come before it is OTOB plug and play gaming. How does this improve upon that baseline functionality in any way?I think the phrase we're looking for is concern trolling.
They also have multiple data centers on each continent.
Its not like we non US buyers have to connect to a lonely server in the US

He is full of ish. There is a direct correlation. So much so that it is an acceptable substitute variable for wealth in applicable studies. (much like level of education).
So the kid as a TV with HDMI support and 499 of savings, but there's absolutely no internet connection whatsoever? Why do I not believe such a setting.Oh I don't know maybe a little kid has been saving money for years in preparation of this day. Maybe that kids parents don't buy Internet because poor or old fashioned. Poor kid is screwed.
Don't the retail games contain the day-1 patch?

Maybe in European countries. I don't think intenet cafes exist in the US
I'm glad you took the time to take a screenshot and host the image. Too bad it doesn't really answer the question.
The article says it requires a day 1 patch. It doesn't say exactly for what nor states that the xbone can do nothing witthout it.

Virgin Media? I am on 30mbps, looking to switch up to 60mbps.
So he just made that statistic up?
Okay never mind. Just looked at his post history. He obviously has an agenda.
PS4 can play games without an update.

Is it like Sony and the PS4 where the user can call a # to order a disc update instead?
LOL only gaf will bring up old information just to make the xbox look bad. I <3 you people because you make me practice patience and acceptance.
I don't think it's ideal, but I also don't think it's a big deal for the vast majority of users. I'm probably the wrong person for you to discuss this with, as I don't actually care if people without internet connections can play the XB1 or not, and wasn't particularly bothered by the product before they did the 180.
As to "baseline functionality" of game consoles, I don't really give a shit about that either. This console, coming out now, was designed to be used with an internet connection. If you don't have one, or don't want a connected box, buy a PS4 or a WiiU.
Once upon a time, consoles didn't require HD TVs to not look like shit. Now they do. Things change. If you don't like the changes, no one is requiring you to support them.
No, from the first time that this update was announced Microsoft has always said that this update is "required".I was under the impression that you couldnt play games without the update. this is saying it can do nothing. was there confirmation before that it could do nothing?

Similar case.
I'll reach for what I can as opposed to digging deeper into the muck. I appreciate there's a certain tradeoff here for modern systems with network connectivity but hardware that's essentially bricked in the most fundamental way possible without a day 1 patch is simply not competent system design. Why would you endorse that?Way to reach for the top. Have fun hanging out with that "baseline" functionality of any system released after 2005...
See above. Change is fine, specifically change that results in actual progress - i.e. build on what works and improve it.If you don't like the changes, no one is requiring you to support them.
This basically mean the graphic smoothness (reviews, etc) on games like cod ghost, bf4 are run on dev units?
Still have to see how well the retail unit runs in performance wise

can i play game when downloading update on ps4?
PS4 can play games without an update.
Albert Penello says in the article when pressed that the Xbox can do "nothing" without it.
Yeah, I noticed all those horrible anti-Xbox sites like Engadget and IGN have this story on their front pages too. When will this unjustified FUD war against poor Microsoft end?!LOL only gaf will bring up old information just to make the xbox look bad. I <3 you people because you make me practice patience and acceptance.
yes, you can play a game before updating.

Same box if microsoft is to be believed they said every retail unit can act as an debug unit.
