there is a link in post 486 and it has been reported by other press that it is 'required' to have a internet connection so the box can automatically connect to microsoft when ever it wants and send them information. you can debate what kind of information might be collected. but you can not argue that the device is not a…
I highly doubt they did. It's more likely they just didn't care because they only care about the consumers that have compatible connections.

They could very well remove that restriction tomorrow if they…
@jerc you did not refute in any way that the xbone is a surveillance device. so i take it you agree then. that was the point. your comparison is false. there is no one who connects to my computer once a day and has access to my full system and any devices connected to it. and i can assure you that any sort of tracking that…
