Xbox a New Generation Discussion

[Randomness]

The Xbox One with its extreme anti-piracy status is going to completely backfire.

Always-online statuses and this extreme block against used games is going to not only kill GameFly and other services, but give reason a people to pirate in the first place.

Note: I don't condone piracy, but that's just how it works. People hack their consoles to get around certain things in the first place. The 3DS? Noone wants that region lock. The Wii? Same reason: region lock.

The Xbox One? Not JUST a region lock, but now people will hack it to play used games!

you'd know that if you actually watched it or atleast read about it

anyone who has ever used the facebook app on a smartphone has agreed to allow facebook to take pictures of you with your phone and record your voice with your phone at will. without you knowing.
kinda a coincidence since facebook just bought out some company that made a bunch of fancy face recognition software.

an xbox watching you is far less creepy.

and bisjac thinks up some random conspiracy theory about yet another thing.

a conspiracy is guessing the secrets that some people are up to.

bis's post had no such thing. he posted the known facts that have been in the news recently.

you could always just turn your internet off if you're that paranoid

nope, xbox one also requires an internet connection to work

Still doesn't change that people don't want the Internet Connectivity requirement.
