<prejudice>I think most of the whiner's are American's with a high sense of entitlement</prejudice>. Personally, I'm just gonna quietly switch to PS4.

I think MS's thinking is a bit ahead of its time, and possibly a bit too Americanized. USA and a lot of other countries have cheap, reliablish Internet. The onliny model will be OK for them.

But there are still a lot of places that have XBox's that have expensive + useless Internet. Like where I live.

I'm moving from XBox 360 to PS4 because, as it is on the 360, I get a "Can't connect to XBox live" message about once an hour. If I went to XBox4, I'm assuming it'd be more annoying.

I bought the computer/console and the software; I expect it to work for me, not to police me, not to try to advertise to me, just do what I paid for.
