the flipside to this is that it may give MS more favors with 3rd party publishers/exclusives. The more I think about it, there's no way MS does it and Sony doesn't (except in the area where it is illegal to do so).

I think we're all fukked bruhs....

the "always online" thing is more detrimental to the new Xbox more than anything IMO.

My interest in next gen gaming absolutely plummeted after reading both Edge articles.

Why are you guys so shocked? Has the whole forum been ignoring what I've been saying for the past couple of years?

True,

And then you'd have Gamestop REALLY pushing the PS4 over new Xbox since it would support used games.

Additional alleged Xbox 720 details have come to light today.

Sources speaking to Edge said the platform will require an Internet connection to function and that a new version of Xbox Live will be an "integral" component of Microsoft's new platform. Though Microsoft is reportedly "absolutely committed" to online functionality for its new machine, games will still be offered in physical form, the sources said.

In addition, the sources said games for the new system will ship with activation codes and "have no value beyond the initial user." This falls in line with a report from last year that said the Xbox 720 could block used games in some way. Analysts do not believe this is likely.

If true Microsoft could alienate a large portion of their customers.

If anything it looks like third parties would give Microsoft timed exclusives for this. Maybe some exclusive DLC.

Thread you're referring to has Used Games in it's title. No mention of constant internet connection.
