Xbox One isn't always online, but requires internet connection

4.5
It has been confirmed that the Xbox One will not be always online, but require internet connection. One of the reasons why this has been implemented, is because all games must be installed now. Microsoft also uses the Cloud Storage device to store movies, music, shows, etc.

This is the one thing I hate, I think it's stupid.

This makes sense because when on X-Box 360, you can't access Cloud storage offline.

This article is worded kinda sketchy. You can still play games with no internet, and you don't need to use the cloud thing to save your games. That's why they have a thing called a 500gb hard drive.

MPAA For not supporting the previous generation, Sony's PS4 has already won.

Ballmer is now attempting to kill the Xbox brand. Great.

Guess I'll be buying a PS4 this time.


PS4 can also not play previous gen games due to a different GPU


I forgot to add, MS has denied that even XBLA titles will work on the new system, that is inexcusable.


No, they'd have to be remade to work on the new system aka, a waste of resources.


A recompile is hardly a waste of resources.

The work is already done for them, it would be just a direct port.


Ya MS is done all ready with the "Xbox 1" stupid name and sadly dont follow the path it should of by naming it the "720" and now all they are doing is sales setting it up and such.

Belkin i dont like that we have to install games :(


I know right? That wastes too much space when you can just run it off of a disk


The PS3 has to install their games right now. And the smallest Xbox One capacity will be 500gb. SO I dint think it will be too big of an issue.

Microsoft will bee supporting the 360 for a long time, they announced that. Both the PS4 and Xbox One will be extremely similar, thus the case with the backwards compatibility stuff.

Why would they require an internet connection, there are a lot of customers that aren't fortunate enough to have internet.
