So as it stands right now, yes if your internet is out for a weekend, you will not be able to play games, however you should be able to still use TV and other features of your console.
that's ridiculous. you're paying 500 for a "gaming" console but if your internet goes out it's worthless.
i dont get what is so hard to understand why people are against this and the xbone as a whole.

That's not a problem for me, I don't get what's so hard to understand about that, I have decent internet, that has absolutely minimal downtime, maybe a few hours a year due to either power outage (can't play anyways), or me ****ing around with network settings (I broke it, I can fix it). I understand that some people have ****ty internet, get a PS4, keep your 360, play with your SNES.
I don't understand why people are against it as a whole, just because of one thing that doesn't affect me in the slightest. Like I said a few posts ago, I like that I can buy any game Day-One and have it downloaded to my console, I like that there is twitch.tv integration, I like that there is skype integration, I like Xbox. Just because some people are affected by the 24 hour thing, doesn't mean I should join the internet circlejerk about how Sony is da bes and Microsoft will literally roll over and die because of how bad the Xbox One is.
This is a discussion thread, I keep bringing up points to discuss, and everyone else just likes spouting about how bad the 24 hour internet is. I get it, I agree with you, it's bad, is there literally nothing else to talk about with the Xbox One?
One thing that I would find interesting, is if they put Office 365 on the One, I feel that isn't too much to ask for, and would be a very interesting prospect for people such as myself and my peers who want to play video games, but sometime need to do actual work. Why not put some form of the Office Suite on the One and allow people to plug in a Keyboard and Mouse and do their projects on their gaming console! I mean, it's already running a "modified windows (
kernel" on x86 with DDR3 memory, how hard could it actually be to port something like that to the Xbox One.
