Xbox One

[Gwen]

Sorry to bump, but sudden news has been shown about the Xbox One:

It needs a Day 1 update or else it can't work.

I'm not sure whether I'm disgusted at Microsoft for doing this near when pre-orders started, or the people okay with this. It just sickens me.

If you can't update it because you can't connect to any internet, why on Earth are you spending $500+ on a gaming console in the first place. I know that not everyone plays online, but regardless, if you don't have any internet in the first place, maybe you should hold off on dropping a huge load of cash on a console in the first place.
And it's just an update, so instead of calling Microsoft scum for this and that.... just update the damned thing. All other consoles do the same thing(without the not being able to do much otherwise deal) so I don't get why this is suddenly some huge deal that's an embarrassment.

So I guess you can be disgusted at me, but it's honestly not that big of a deal, and when they changed the whole always online policy, could you really expect them to just trash ALL of the Xbox Ones made and packaged up at that point? An update which fixes all of that makes a shit ton more sense.
