the leaked document says the console will always be "online" when it can be in a low power mode, ala what Nintendo did with Wii Connect 24...... always looking for patches, updates, etc... it does *NOT* say the console HAS to be online to use or play, it just says it will connect when it can to keep up to date....
reply to neufuse Thank you! I can't believe so many sites are basically regurgitating the same crap without stopping for a second and read the source. Not even Vgleaks is suggesting this is about blocking used games. It's simply a feature to download stuff on the background to save time!
