I'm sorry, I'm not going to spend eight years watching an unfunny gif slowly tell me something I could read in 30 seconds.

I thought it was funny, if not very laggy.

I'm pretty pissed about this rumor. If Microsoft goes through with it I think I'm switching to Sony. As the other developer arguing with Orth on Twitter pointed out, constant live connection is fine if you're in New York or LA, but I'm in a rural town where our internet will got out 2 or 3 times a day if the weather is off. Which means that my expensive console is essentially a doorstop.

My big issue with the current and next generation consoles is all of the bullshit apps. I don't want twitter and facebook and internet radio, etc, on a GAMING console. I have a computer for that shit. It seems like these companies just want to make media centers and not gaming consoles.
That said, I don't care about rumors. I will wait and see what happens. People are always bitching in the lead up to the next gen.

| There is all around us today a kind of fantastic conspicuousness of consumption and abundance, constituted by the multiplication of Xbox, Xbox services and Xbox goods, and this represents something of a fundamental mutation in the ecology of the human species. Strictly speaking, the humans of the age of affluence are surrounded not so much by other human beings, as they were in all previous ages, but by Xboxes. Their daily dealings are now not so much with their fellow men, but rather - on a rising statistical curve - with the reception and manipulation of Xbox goods and messages. This runs from the very complex organization of the household, with its dozens of technical slaves, to street furniture and the whole material machinery of communication; from the professional activities to the permanent spectacle of the celebration of the Xbox in advertising and the hundreds of daily messages from the mass media; from the minor proliferation of vaguely obsessional gadgetry to the symbolic psychodramas fueled by the nocturnal Xbox which come to haunt us even in our dreams. The two concepts 'environment' and 'ambience' have doubtless only enjoyed such a vogue since we have come to live not so much alongside other human beings - in their physical presence and the presence of their speech - as beneath the mute gaze of mesmerizing, obedient Xboxes which endlessly repeat the same refrain: that of our dumbfounded power, our virtual affluence, our absence one from another. Just as the wolf-child became a wolf by living among wolves, so we too are slowly becoming functional. We live by Xbox time: by this I mean that we live at the pace of Xboxes, live to the rhythm of their ceaseless succession. Today, it is we who watch them as they are born, grow to maturity and die, whereas in all previous civilizations it was timeless objects, instruments or monuments which outlived the generations of human beings. |

No way I'd trust Microsoft to build a console that could withstand being "always on" after the 360 and it's good, ol', reliable RROD.

Yeah, do they take any sort of customer metrics that aren't in major cities? I can't even get cable out here, and the DSL is dicey at best.
