2. Always Online
Ah, the good ol' constant internet connection. It's good for browsing the web, but to engage in a single-player campaign.... hey, if you're connection is great, no big deal. But if it's spotty and you lose connectivity, your game is over. The rest of the Covenant will have to wait because your airport router stopped working again and the help desk phone staff is on break. This is the new way developers use DRM to fight piracy. Does it work? Good question. All I know is that is you have a spotty internet connection, the third Xbox will not be a good investment for you, should this rumor come true. Although an Xbox that can't be used is no different from a 360 that has suffered the dreadful RRoD right after its warranty expired.
