Im not into console wars n shyt but I wouldnt put it past companies now if it were actually true

Think about it breh. They would be killing their product if they were to make it online only. That would be product suicide.

I'm calling :duck:

won't be like this on subscription models.

the thing is with the subscription model is they expect you to pay for live. if you stop paying or whatever, as far as MS is concerned, you still owe them that money. bricked nextbox or not, they got you in the red

it will be interesting to see exactly how this all plays out

that's what I mean. If you can cop the subscription model and cancel your credit card for them to get their money if you don't want to pay, then play the system offline, what is the point of the subscription model. That's why I believe the always on/internet required to startup a game is TRUE...but only for the subscription models.

I agree...but they'll also make sure your shyt aint playable either. No way they let you slide with just a hit on credit that alot of people don't give 2 fukks about either.

You will be double fukked if you don't pay:

1) a bricked system you can't do shyt with
2) a credit report hit

:scusthov: but they kinda have no choice but to do it this way if dummies go for the "cheaper" model.

subscription models exist now and to me they are a great price. 40 dollars in total more over the lifetime of the "loan" and free 2 year warranty.

that's 1.67 cent per month that microsoft pockets that's nothing.
