It is an issue. And this is coming from someone who is blessed with Unifi in a highly urban area like Subang Jaya with a decent PC to boot, plus a smart phone with data plan. Even with Unifi, it DOES go down once in a while. A minor inconvenience yes, but you won't feel the negative of the 24 hr login issue unless you encounter a situation like:-
1) You played Forza 5 last night. Managed to unlocked the Mclaren. Since it is bed time you shut off your Xbox one and go to bed
2) The next day you did a little overtime and return back later than usual. It is Friday night, and you want to race in your just unlocked Mclaren.
3) But then you realized that there is no internet connection, which means.....
4) .. you cannot authenticate your Forza 5 with Microsoft servers since the late time you game, which is last night.
5) ...so you try to connect using using your smartphone, because you have a smartphone with data plan.
6) ... but then realized M$ decided to make you download a huge ass patch to update the Xbone before you can game (speaking from experience with Games for Windows Live)
7) ... but your data plan while is has 3GB or unlimited data cap it is not as fast as broadband
8) ... so unable to login and play with your just unlocked Mclaren you wish you bought a PS4 or any other device which has non-restrictive DRM.

Sony has made a pretty bold statement with its no DRM stance. I am not a Sony fanboy, but if Sony decided to backtrack on their statements you can expect a huge backlash to them.

Sony just kinda backtracked with its DRM stance by saying it all depends on the 3rd party which is the games publisher. Hmm.....all this is too complicated la. Why must they do all this? Let us all enjoy playing video games please....

Ini hypothetical situation tahap dewa yo lol
Satu malam internet tak boleh connect tak main video game tak akan mati punya.

If WoW addicts could survive Tuesday nights not playing everybody else should be fine

Hi guys, seems the support exec in M$ has gone wild & crazy, see it yourself : https://twitter.com/XboxSupport2/status/344943376841465856

This is the relevant exchange



bloody hell, they really plan to restrict our game's activation by IP?

i guess it has something to do about the cloud server thingy which only the support region can used it with their xbox one.

Yo like that's from a twitter account not from MS official statement.

The internet (Neogaf especially) just love to over-react and dogpile on what the favorite hatred of the week.

kekekekekekkee......

Qudeenz agreed.. Hahaha.

Just delete xbox forum for malaysian & we move ramai2 to PS4 forum..

or mention "x360 discussion only"

xbox1 takda kat mlysia.. kekekekeke

Are you suggesting that we shouldn't take Xbox Support seriously ?

one day tak race won't die one lar. can always play something on your PC or other consoles.

but personally, i think 360's replacement won't work in Malaysia as we cannot authenticate. Even after it launches in SG. Remember how we were IP blocked from some of the gears of war content back in the day? Meh.

You shouldn't take ANYTHING from a twitter account seriously till the an official press statement was issued....

The Verge did contact MS for this...

No, it won't

Malaysia isnt even in the "Xbox One-Supported Xbox Live Countries"

But it's an OFFICIAL Xbox Support twitter account.

trust me... xbox 1 will be major success over playstation

Sometimes I wonder why need to reconfigure ip, do proxy, etc etc just to make sure can play an Xbox. With ps3 or ps4 can truly just plug and play.

This is one key difference between m$ which is primarily a software company that tells u that u don't own the things u buy but only the license to use it vs Sony which is a primarily hardware company that doesn't deal with stuff like this.

I recently took out my 360 and connect it to the large 60" TV in my living room. Just connect power, connect to TV, connect controller, put in disk and even without a HDD can start playing a bit of PGR3 and Fifa World Cup Germany 2006.

Then today bought the VGA cable adapter (not the official one, since the official one hard to find plus very expensive) and connect to my pc monitor and can still play!

No internet connection. No hard disk since my HDD kaput. But still can play. I think this is the benefit of buying a console compared to a pc; you can game as and when you feel like it.

This is the reason I kept my Xbox 1 and 360 unmodded, I do not want a bricked console plus I want it to function properly and enjoy the benefits of being ori. Atleast I do not have to worry about getting banhammer if I decide to update the firmware for example.

Latest Microsoft scandal : They got caught using W7 PC when demoing supposedly Xbox One games at E3. Unbelievable. Hehe
