This is fucking ridiculous... I'm looking forward to the return lines at wall-mart after Christmas for the consoles parents bought for there kids because "they are broken and won't play games."

If you have had a blizzard or hurricane in your area and it has knocked out the power for a significant amount of time you have bigger things to worry about than your video game console.

This is terrible for all the NeoGAF members without internet connections.
Hey at least Arthur Gies owes EVERYONE a cookie! Xbox Infinite... pffft
ya, I thought for sure they'd shut all the rumors down for good. But, as a Sony/Nintendo fan it went better then I could have hoped for lol.

No such thing as bad publicity. Right guys?
What are MS doing today?
What are MS doing today?
It doesn't have to ALWAYS be online - just long enough that those outside the US are basically screwed here. Europe will have the Internet connectivity but none of the features, and Japan won't even give it a glance.
MS really is giving the finger to everywhere else in the World. DRM, no used games except through MS, online connectivity, oh, and everything STILL sits behind a paywall.
Glorious! I'd love to hear the X-Bots response to this one.

Thank you Microsoft. You've made this more entertaining than it has any right to be.
OR WHAT, Microsoft, OR WHAT? What the Ex Box Won gonna do? Get itself online? Kinect watching me in my sleep?
Yeah, OKAY Microsoft.
It's always online lite. I don't see how anyone can spin this as a positive. 3 minutes and 24 hours makes a difference to some people, but not others, especially those who don't even have an Internet connection.
And that's even ignoring the fact that you'd do something so fucking stupid in the first place.

So it basically is always online then? Fantastic...
edit - In the same way that Steam is but that's still awful.

If this is true I probably wouldn't be able to play any Xbox One game I bought in 10 years, because all the necessary servers won't exist anymore.
Yeah, right. That would be an absolute dealbreaker for me. I won't even gamble on that - I need to hear that I will be able to play my games as long as I have a working Xbox One in my possession. Otherwise I won't buy it.

The fact that there's even a time is pretty damn stupid.

You can, then you have to re-connect within 24 hours so you can "buy" your next 24 hours!

This just keeps getting worse and worse.
Seriously. This is basically worst case scenario ever since we heard about always connected/online. GOOD LORD.

i've had internet go out for several days a few times
Pass. I have a much better system that requires online activation yet lets me play offline without checking in if necessary.
Doesn't steam offline mode last for like a few weeks till you need to get online again? Microsoft wtf are you doing. . .

All the fucking negative leaks were true. Every god damn single one of them. Jesus!
How will you be able to play anything if your power is knocked out?
Not every one has good Internet connection. M$ just dig a hole for yourself.
But you only need to be online once every 24 hours...
LOL

according to this:

steam offline mode works for 2 weeks
edit: but the downside is you have to intentionally go into offline mode while the internet is available

The argument used by those in favour of this is "fuck you, got mine".

At this point we have no idea how long it takes to authorize, or how long it needs to be connected in the 24 hour gap to do its stuff. Unless people have internet out there that only stays connected for 3 mins every 24 hours.
