So you buy the XBOX ONE and a couple of games for 4-500 and then need permission

So you buy the XBOX ONE and a couple of games for 4-600 dollars and then need permission every 24 hours to check you're being a good boy/girl and if so you get the microsoft seal of approval to keep playing their games for another 24 hours, talk about no ownership of your games what so ever!!!!!

Is there anyone out there that is ok with that??

I'm not.

It looks to be a great machine that will have great software.

Bad policies are in place though, I hope they backpedal this at E3....time is ticking. Probably won't happen, but I can hope. I've saved all generation for a Xbone, so my money is there. Next move is M$.

 and you need to pay another $60 for online.... since X1 doesn't work without online

I'm not.

Yep, it's pretty anti consumer.

Unfortunately for them, I'm a discerning consumer that has the means, the online connectivity, the history, and the resources to buy the Xbone machine, but I'm not on board with these pro corporation, anti consumer measures.

This is some sort of nightmare scenario for any console, especially for me as a collector.

It's the principles that stand in the way. Next move is on them at E3.

Lems have to buy it, otherwise what do they have left?

Is there any big xbox fan that is ok with this, please I would luv to hear an opinion from the other side, because DRM is one thing, but checking up on you every 24 hours or blocking you from playing purchased games it another.Totalgym9000

No I don't.

And you still have to pay to unlock online for every single game you bought...in 2013.

Meh...iam fine with it. There is wifi everywhere and my console is always connected online anyways, unless you live in some third world country you shouldn't have to worry about having no online.

I'm always amazed at how upset people get at first when something they already do 100% of the time becomes something they have to do. Most issues with the X1 disappear when people stop pretending that they don't have the internet. If you actually don't have the internet, which is pretty much nobody on this site nor anyone who is so into tech that they're thinking about buying this Day 1 or year 1, well this clearly isn't the system for you much like how it would be stupid to sign up for Netflix or Hulu+ if you don't actually have internet access.Senor_Kami

If you think the issue with Xbone is having or not having good internet then you are missing the point.This console is a massive step backwards from what we have today and exists only to make life better for publishers and M$,there is no thought for the consumer with this console and if you accept it then things will get much worse in the future.

xbone system will be highly dependent on many UNNECCESARY factors just to play a singleplayer offline game.

 internet connection, microsoft server, xbl subscription.

the most annoying is that aside from paying for the access to this utilities, you still have to pay full price for the games. 

Yes I am okay with it because I am not buying one and without idiots buying it, who they hell would I make fun of for being so mind numbingly stupid? There is a reason I call lemmings gnats now. Because you would have to have an IQ of a gnat to want to buy the X1.

nah, i was a ps3 guy this gen. but x1 definitely looks better than ps4 right now. 

no internet- no dice.  This is a computer game machine. Wtf i paid 600 bucks and i need electricity also - arghh!!! How shall i play in a power outage? Next gen should come with built in generator and 4g card so i can play games and watch netflix in a blackout .

My XBOX360, PS3 and PCs are always online when I turn them on so I do not care about the once every 24 hour check up. MS confirmed you will be able to play used games with no extra fees which is a plus. The specs look great and of course the online play will be the best of the 3 consoles once again. Day one purchase by me if they have 2 or 3 exclusives at launch that I like.

I don't agree with all of the policies, and I know there is some false information going around.

But yeah these threads are old.

The longest my ISP has been down at any given time since I have been using the internet is about an hour and I have been using the internet since 1997. Also MS will have over 300k servers, which I believe, is triple what they have now for XBL. The longest XBL has been down for me at any given time has been a day or two which again is no big deal since my life doesn't revolve around playing games.

Also I have a hard time believing the XBOX ONE will be a brick with no internet connection. I believe MS is wording things wrong or their words are not being spoken by the media properly. I think the XBOX ONE will be like your modern day PC, which requires constant patching, updates, etc. for it to perform at its highest level. The XBOX ONE will be the same, as will the be the PS4 and currently the Wii U, but you will be able to use the system for offline gaming, movie watching, etc. No one way would it just brick if there is no connection. No need for MS to clear this up either. That is just common sense.
