If you are not in one of the green countries, do not bother with the Xbox One as it will not at work...at launch at least.

it really rubs me the wrong way how geoff really goes in hard, raw, and completely without disregard for reggie's feelings as not only a businessman, but above all, a man, a hopeless, lost man. but mattrick gets off pretty easy.
Who the hell buys access to all those services just to consider their console "Fully featured", nobody that's who.
I'd say, Console, online service, and a game. PS4 is $520 USD and Xbone is $640.

You forgot a three story house to play that X1 in. As well as lobster dinners while you watch cable tv on your X1.

Honestly, I see nothing wrong with his X360 comment.. because it's true.
MS if creating a system that can fully make the transition to fully digital easily with no repercussions from fans in the coming years. Forced online means that direct digital downloads can become the norm, Sony has set itself up for major backlash if they chose to do that in the future.. as they are going to alienate the retail only consumer if they ever chose to make a full on switch, and they will still have to cater to retail as a full supply chain for the entire console lifetime.
The Xbox One has a stopgap built in to allow both, but knowing all console owners will have a digital connection they will no longer have to always consider how their online store effects things at the retail level. So hopefully we will see a more robust online marketplace with much more fluid pricing and sales.
If you have no internet, complaining you can't play the XBONE is the same as complaining you can't watch Netflix or download PC games. You have other options, go use them.. because catering to that crowd means you are forced to limit other things.
I'd rather have a system that forces an even playing field for devs to program for, one where an internet connection is mandatory.
I feel for those with bandwidth caps, but don't be made at MS for that.. be complaining to your ISP for their antiquated restrictions.
What?
Mexico , really? they plan to launch it here were we have a very bad internet providers.
Good luck MS...
is the Xbone HD upgradeable?

MS are blocking videos where Don Mattrick said this. This is the 2nd video I've found that was taken down.
wtf?! this seems unbelievable.
Large parts of rural US have shitty Internet too from companies with monopolies, but that didnt stop MS. Where I live, there's only one option for internet, shitty AT&T dsl or nothing.
