As long as the Xbox console require Internet to set up and they require to login with a MS account before you can play offline they are paperweight crap.

It is quite funny to see how "justifiable" it is to smash something just because you used your own money to buy it.

"I own it I can do whatever I want with it!"

Well I saw that so I can call you an idiot

@NEStalgia Well I used many Windows 10 "versions" offline if you know what I mean And they all work perfectly

So that is another option for sure in the distant future

Phil, we want that longer than you!

@NEStalgia That is so true.

Still I wonder what would happen when they stop the support of the Xbox One for example. Yes, I am talking about 20 years in the future or more, but still.

Would they give one final update that could be put on USB drive to make them usable at least.

I can see the listing for 2nd hand Xbox One X console when we have flying cars but only for decoration since you can't turn it on because the servers are down!

@NEStalgia Aren't there Windows with activation keys like in the old days?

Also the PS5 will not have the same thing. It will be just like on the PS4. You get it, you insert disc, install and then play. I read that somewhere on Pushsquare.

Still it baffles me but people are more accepting now because the Series X will have more games and it has superior hardware. Also it is only one time deal unless you reset to factory settings.

@Grumblevolcano It is optional but the internet requirement is not.

I do not get it why they don't ship the consoles with a default version of the OS. Maybe the Live accounts that are mandatory?

No other console (except the Xbox One) ever done that and probably never will.

@TrolleyProblems Damn. Why again?
I thought that the Xbox One was like that because they messed up with the DRM and they had to patch things up just before release.

But now I don't get it.

Difficult to Love.

Any info if the Xbox Series X will require one time Internet connection on the initial setup like the Xbox One?

@NEStalgia NICE!!!

Now I only wish I could setup the the console without internet and install games from the discs to play!

Maybe next month they could share some info if we could make an offline accounts like on the 360. Still a longshot but hope dies last.

I have to wait for this one (and the PS5).

It is already perfect Just add more blocks and functions.

I am actually very pleased with proprietary expansions. They look really cool. Just like cartridges.

But are they backwards compatible just from the disc or you need internet downloads again?

I mean the Xbox One games not the 360 and Original.
