There's no reason tethering wouldn't work, data charges aside.

It would be nice if the Smartglass app could use your cellular data for the once a day online authorization, I think that would be a good feature for those that take their console when traveling.

Well listening to an interview Scott Rhode did he openly says online passes are gone 100%, across the board, for all first AND third party games so if people were thinking that was going to be the form games took on the PS3 when it came to DRM issues and such, thats not the case.

I think Nintendo be better off, expecially with the WiiU, making their Nintendo games for other systems and their DS. It seems they would make much more money that way.

Re: E3 Discussion Thread

I'm not trying to turn this into a console war, but I am very surprised seeing a few people saying they are going with the Xbox One especially on launch date. Sorry if I am dropping 500 dollars I don't want to be forced to not only pay for Xbox Live, but internet service as well. Sure I have internet, but there are a lot of times I have ended up staying at hotels for weeks and months at a time. So now I'd be forced to have to get hotel with crappy wi-fi just to play games that I already paid for. Just doesn't seem right to pay 500 dollars for a gaming system that also has to be connected to the internet every 24 hours. The times when you move and have those days of waiting for internet service you are also waiting to be able to play games you already paid for, it's sad. Personally just upsets me that people are going to be supporting business practices such as that. If it wasn't for the always online restrictions I would definitely get Xbox One at launch just like I am getting PS4 at launch. Xbox One has exclusives and features that really appeal to me. Just that one HUGE issue IMO. It's big enough issue to keep me away from it. At least for awhile.

I am still Thinking about a Xbone at release. My biggest thing is the controller. Theres also the Exclusives that people prefer as well. And with the online requirement it doesn't bug me to much because everywhere around here has internet somewhere. Hell I would just tether my Xbone to my iPhone long enough to get my online check done. Then with the Friends List being increased to 1000 the borrowing games thing doesnt bug me anymore either.

One thing I have to ask though, will Microsofts new controller be compatible with a PC?

Honestly I can't see Nintendo game on any other systems due, but I do think they should consider IOS or mobile.

Yeah I do want the Xbox One because it does have exclusives and nice features. That is true all you have to do is tether long enough to "Check in" but that is still kind of a dumb thing to have to say. It's like being a kid at a friends house and having to check in haha. Anyways I will get it eventually. The controller should definitely be compatible see no reason why it wouldn't be this time around.

I will more than likely get the Xbox One, can respect what your saying but like Mestevo said some things just aren't for everybody. I will admit that I wish it didn't have to check every 24 hrs to play offline games cause even though my connection is pretty good that first time I have the problem I'm not going to be happy. I have a few friends that I play with regularly and they are all getting Xbox One...I also want it so it works out. I don't ever take my console on a trip with me, it stays home and stays connected to the internet so again not an issue for me. I like all the other things it can do other than games I may be wrong but I think you also have to pay for PSN Plus to play multiplayer games.

Eh, Nintendo has carved out a little niche for themselves. The problem that I see with Nintendo is that they got complacent. You need games to move a system. The thing for me at least is most wanting Nintendo games on other systems still want Nintendo games
