Lots of people play without being connected to the internet, becauese they don't have to. But I'll give you a good example... I used to be active duty Navy. What do you think I did on my free time for 9 months on a boat?
Good news, you get to save your money and keep playing xbox360, which will still be coming out with new games/updates!

And what about moving? Have you ever done that? I've had my gaming platforms disconnected for a few days.
I don't think people are going to NOT buy a system, because they might move one day.

Or how about the simple fact of... why should I need to have an internet service to play a game that isn't exclusively online? I suppose the millions of people complaining about that for things like Diablo III and the new Sim City were just babies too? I like games like that for when I travel for work. I don't always have an internet connection in my free time on travel, but I always have power. Sometimes I'm gone long enough to bring a gaming platform of choice.
The internet connection is partly for gameplay experience, aka you play during the day, the game will be in daytime. if it's raining, it's raining in the game, live updates, etc. Also, the online connection is to help prevent people from stealing games, making sure you purchased the game, and not "borrowing" it from a "friend".


There are situations outside your world. Don't be so quick to judge.
