Mister Jack Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Word is the new console is called Xbox Infinity. I really hope that isn't related to Comcast Xfinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Given the XBL fanbase they might as well call it the Xbox 420. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Remember from that article posted earlier in the thread that said that they were hearing that what has been rumored as "always on" really doesn't mean it requires a constant connection, that it can tolerate dropped connections and such.

Mister Jack Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 But it does say right there "will require an internet connection." Even if you can use it with a dropped connection, you still couldn't use it if you have no internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I feel like the console was heavily considered to have always online but once the shit storm with rumors started brewing they may have dropped it a bit. Maybe now used games won't be a problem who knows. That'll be the biggest decider for me as the internet isn't the end of the world since I'll always have internet for the most part unless the electricity goes off imho.

How Draconian do you consider Steam? If it didn't have offline mode it would bother me, but it does so it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you can use it with a dropped connection, you still couldn't use it if you have no internet. Right, but maybe it just has to be connected at startup or something, who knows. I'm not defending it, just giving ideas of what could be less draconian than "constantly connected and if you drop for a millisecond you get kicked out of whatever you're doing."

Mister Jack Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I suppose technically that's accurate but it's kinda like saying that a kick in the gut hurts less than a kick in the balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 All I know is that Sims 3. Maybe Microsoft saw that as a reference guide and dropped the draconian idea in favor of a less risky one. Like everytime you sign in MS charges you $20 for the privilege of playing their console.

The way the rumour mill is churning at the moment I would not be surprised to hear that the console will deliver a mild electric shock through the controller if you are not online.

Mister Jack Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) ... How mild? I mean that would factor into my buying decision. Edited April 29, 2013 by Mister Jack 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Like door handle static shock mild. Happens randomly, but with increasing frequency until you connect. It will also have biometric stuff to stop you playing in marigolds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 It will just have a small banner in the corner that says "Every time you play offline God kills a kitten" with a slideshow of adorable but sad-looking kittens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
