Xbox One Discussion

I think that has been discussed enough.

Anyways, I've been wondering: Why would they want the console to always be online? I don't think they realize how big of a market they're losing; there's many countries in which a fast, stable connection is just not possible. Having lived in Venezuela for most of my life, I can guarantee that nobody there will buy an Xbox One if internet connection is mandatory. Nobody.

Even here in America depending on your area you won't have a fast, stable connection. I have a friend who lags pretty much no matter what. Even after being connected directly and having just reset his connection.

That's me to a tee. My connection isnt reliable. It'll have moments where the Internet will just stop working for no reason. That's one reason why I'm extremely skeptical about this system and will give it a pass. And that irks me cause I planned on buying all three nex gen consoles eventually, but now that's not gonna happen. Not while its like this.

not really sure so I can't really say it as fact but I would assume that there would be some workaround or deal made with local cable television companies. similar to how apple has deals with wireless companies for their phones. Pretty sure instead of a box, comcast/charter what allow you to use your xboxone as the cable box for that one tv. seeing as I have multiple cable boxes with charter, I don't think there will be some link that links all your tvs to one box.

That's not how it works. You still need your cable box. You then plug that into your XBOne then you plug your XBOne into the TV. The XBOne then overlays ads and channel guides over your cable box feed etc. Then you need to set up IR Blaster wires to every component in your AV system from the "Xbox turn on" thing to work sansadditional remotes.

If you wanted that XBOne overlay in every tv in your house you'd need additional cable boxes as well as additional XBOnes.
