: So I've been reading some information regarding the next Xbox and although
: I'm sure this has been discussed already, I've been busy and haven't been
: here in a while. :-) What are your guys' thoughts on the idea that the
: next Xbox will supposedly require a constant Internet connection for games
: to work. Frankly, I think it's BS!! I'm active duty in the (US) Navy and I
: feel pretty strongly that I can speak for most military out there that it
: simply won't do. If I'm underway or deployed in the field, I cannot be
: connected to the Internet. That would stink if I can't play a game with my
: fellow deployed friends because of that and i crel like it would be a
: mistake and is going to lose them customers. How do you guys feel?

My Internet connection is up only about 50% of the time, does that mean that I can pay Microsoft 50% of the price of the new x box?
