And the digital divide grows ever wider. Oh well, most folks outside of town have given up on consoles anyway, with console games having become giant patch-fests every bit as bad as PC versions. At least I can haul my laptop into town once a week for updates off somebody’s wifi..a console is a different matter.

Meh, This too will be cracked like all things hardware and software, In time. Its sad really , This model will surely annoy a LOT of customers. Im not really impressed from the hardware spec im seeing but i suppose I can laugh for real when the thing ships.

Limited monthy bandwidth and satellite losing signal because of weather, clouds… a bird fart… A lot of people, myself included, won’t be purchasing a console that requires constant online.
