Instead it's been changed to "capable but it is up to the developer if they wish to use it."

I was at work and missed the reveal but I've heard that some of the developers have already opted to require an online connection to play their game.

Your est is low. Insider reports have it listed as starting at $499. Looks like both the Xbox and PS will be launching with the same price tag.




If I'm understanding the explanation correctly the Xbox has 3 operating systems?! And just to run they will use up half of the 8 gigs of DDR3 ram it has? I hope that isn't right cause if so compare that to the PS4s capability to allow a developer to have access to all 8 gigs of GDDR5 that it has. The Xbox already is using inferior ram but if they also restrict the amount that can be used to just 4 gigs, the capability difference between the two systems will be quite noticeable.
