Xbox chief: we have a product for people who can't get online
MATTRICK: "Some of the advantages that you get, of having, a box that is designed to use an online state, so, that, uh, to me is the future-proof choice, and I think people, could've arguably gone the other way if we didn't do it and fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360."
KEIGHLEY: "Right, so stick with 360, that's your message if you don't [inaudible] like it?"
MATTRICK: "Well, if you have zero access to the internet, that is an offline device, I mean, seriously, when I read the blogs, and thought about who's really the most impacted, there was a person who said 'hey, I'm on a nuclear sub,' and I don't even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub but I've gotta imagine it's not easy to get an internet connection."
KEIGHLEY: "[inaudible] playing call of duty multiplayer"
MATTRICK: "Hey, I can empathize, if I was on a nuclear sub, I'd be disappointed."

Borderland I don't understand the big deal.. I honestly don't go anywhere that doesn't have an internet connection.
People find a way to complain about everything. Honestly everyone at this point who owns a $400-$500 console, and a computer, has internet. You can use your phone for internet, hotels have internet, honestly it's everywhere.

Im_eZ_Bake Why would anyone keep the 360. Its all about next-gen now.
Well you know maybe so you can play your old games. I have my N64, gamecube, wii, xbox, ps1, ps2, and all the gameboys still. Why wouldn't you keep it is the better question. It's not like Gamestop going to give you anything close to what it's worth.

I live in a town of two thousand is Texas. Middle of nowhere. Yet I have never had my internet knocked out for more than a couple of hours. I have Verizon. The power went out for a week because of a hurricane which technically knocked out my internet but also the electricity so even if did have internet it wouldn't help me. If you can't connect to the internet once a day then maybe you should look at some other internet options. If you can read this then most likely you should be able to connect once.
