Great so allegedly, the new XBOX will always be on and will always be connected to the internet. Great. Always connected works just great.

I'm fed up with this DRM crap.

What next? No more PC games?

Thumbprint scanner and DNA scan matched to single user key?

Same allegations have been out for PS4 without anyone from the company disputing the rumor.

My 360 is always on.

Did you mean requires "always on" to play games?

Nothing but pollution, sbr2.

Thank Gaia there are people like me to balance out your wasteful electricity use.

Think of the whales and learn to play your Xbox with the power off.

Article is on Tom's Hardware. Not like they stick up every rumor on the net. Not saying it is certain which is why I said alleged, you jackwagon.

Holy crap! This is getting legs, guys. People with access to the Durango SDK are saying this is legit.

Could be a publicity stunt to get people to stop talking about the PS4 (even though they ALSO refuse to definitively squash "always on" DRM, check what their statement REALLY says). Wait and see.

Like a guy on Escapist's forum said. . .this could be Microsoft's backdoor way of getting OUT of the console business. Escapist

If Sony is smart they will wait for MSFT to announce their insane DRM then Sony should pop out and say they aren't Fascists so their system won't be always connected and they will allow old games to work.
