Check out this article. I am not a big fan or a fan at all of this site but wow 4000+ comments of pure hate for comments made by a Microsoft creative director:

I must say I don't like the rumors I am hearing about what the new Xbox might be. They are just rumors but not allowing used games, and always online and if connection gets dropped it prevents you from playing your game.

Just rumors but they might just shoot themselves in the foot. I am curious what the official announcements might be.

I am planning on my PC anyways but yikes I don't like where this is going. The price of consoles, games, Live, DLC and micro transaction hell(its coming). Free to play games with micro transactions killed anything that was cool about iOS gaming for me.

 

They really need to find a way to make Live free. With the advertisements and everything else you would think it possible. Apps like netfilx should be watchable since we are already paying for that outside of Live.

 

HAHA!

They could make live free anytime, they just won't because nobody has given them a reason not to. Most people will happily pay there toll, or only just complain about it on the internet.

As for the always online thing, I won't believe it until it's actually confirmed, it really is just to stupid to be true, after all only something like 60% of all 360s have been connected online. They wouldn't be willing to instantly cut off that large a portion of their market.

MS employees disrespecting people over Twitter almost confirms it for me. Doesn't matter to me anyways, though. I didn't plan on buying any new consoles.

True dat! I agree I don't believe it either until an announcement.  I just think it is hilarious how much people comment and get all worked up about it. Reading the comments just cracks me up.

Yeah same here. I only deal with it now because if I want to play games xbox is all I got. My Mac just cant do it anymore.

Wow that is pretty bad I will have to admit!

Lol, just what I thought. They took sonys bait and ran with it. Sony let out a rumor quite awhile back about always online confirmation. When sony revealed it wasnt in their plans afterall it was too late for MS. LOL, good for you Playstation. Someones been reading sun tzu

The way that employee is behaving is really inappropriate,

There are other reasons why someone might not agree with an online all the time console.

LIke. Oh.

They don't have ACCESS TO TEH FUCKING INTERNET

 

I know the rural part of AZ where my mom lives they don't' get internet out there, period.
