Default Next-Gen XBox Always Online Confirmed.

For all you XBoxer's, the next 1 will always be online and connected.

It was a 'concept' last month, and now it's confirmed.

Whoever wrote the article is a bit dim. The quotes from Microsoft say that it will be 'Always on', not online. And anyway, why would Microsoft do such a thing? Most of their profit probably comes from Xbox Live, which you have to pay for. The greedy bastards.

It seems to be after reading the second and or third paragraph of the quote, the always on is to minimize time starting the console and downloading updates, ie it updates when you're not playing.

As far as that kind of connection, I dont mind anyways since about 100% of my gaming on my 360 slim is in the form of online multiplayer.
