Xbox 720 will need internet connection in order for it to work

lolwhat no

What a stupid concept.

Never gonna happen.

Oh Microsoft, you had a good run, RIP.

If this is true, it would seem Microsoft are bent on being dumbasses and losing next gen.

The chances of me getting an Xbox 720 are now negative 32528953605328532904873205.

Microsoft responds to Xbox 720 ‘always-on’ net connection rumour

Quote :

Xbox 720 is rumoured to require a constant internet connection to verify games and to block both pre-owned and piracy – see our report on the rumour here. Microsoft has today responded to the claim.

Microsoft passed a note to OXM that read, “The manufacturer has responded to our mails. “Microsoft does not comment on rumours or speculation. We are always thinking about what is next for our platform, but we don’t have anything further to share at this time.”

So that’s not exactly a no, is it? Our own sources have verified this as true. Read what they had to say here.

Meanwhile Sony’s PS4 is rumoured to include NFC tech to bind game discs to one console. It seems that both parties want to crush pre-owned game sales under their mighty boots.

What do you think?

hahahahahaha this is even worse then sony's ridiculous ps3 pricing, at least it was a good system, but this? i wouldn't even buy it for £50

The might pull back on that. That would just be a horrible decision.

It will never happen it just seems as we get closer to the 20th for the (supposed) ps4 reveal more and more ridiculous rumors emerge about xbox. Im waiting before jumping to any conclusions
