Its not that being online is hard for people, its the fact that YOU HAVE to be online. What if i dont want to be online? what if my internet goes down for some length of time? Or I move and have to wait to have internet set up? Why should my game console tell me when i can play it?

And its not just that you have to be online, you have to pay a monthly subscription to play offline games, that you are forced to be online for......

If you are ok with being told when you can play your game and how you can play your game, then that fine for you. It is not ok for me. I dont want to be told that I can only play my game when I have an internet connection, or play a game I bought only on one system. If I want to bring my game to a friends house, I have to bring my system with me. I cant lend games to friends or buy used copies later if I dont want to pay 60 bucks at release.

But hey, if you are okay with all that, buy a Xbox. I am not okay with any of that, so i wont be.
