Thoughts?

If this is true, then I will NOT be buying the next Xbox until someone hacks it, which sucks for Microsoft, because it means they will lose my money. I will not buy a game that requires a web connection. That's just an antiquated means by which to implement DRM that's been proven to only piss off owners of legitimate games and do virtually nothing to stop piracy.
So basically, it's a giant shot in the foot if that's their plan.

My thoughts are that Microsoft's gaming devision decided they'd rather Nintendo not be in last place of the console wars for next gen.

my thoughts:
stupid if true.
not everyone has super-duper internet speeds or connectivity! thats why i dont use steam, 'cos i cant play anything without the internet connection.
if this does turn out to be true, MS have just about halved there potential customers!

Well as you guys have said, if it is true, and the next generation XBox doesn't support used games or offline play, then I won't be buying the system. As it is the only exclusive games that raise my interest are Gears of War and Halo, even with those two games and hidden gems thrown in, it is not worth the money, considering once the console is no longer supported, my games and the console are useless.
To be honest, even before this I had serious doubts that I would be investing in the new XBox anyway.
