I'm glad Xbox One will let me play offline for as long as I want. I'm in the 30-40% of the US population that cares about their privacy. I know everything I do on the web is tracked but the benefits outweigh the risks in that case. I use my Xbox 360 and Kinect for exercise and fun. The benefits of connecting a gaming console to the internet are not worth the risks for me. I don't want our surveillance society to extend into my living room and bedroom. I don't trust software settings to prevent the microphone, camera and WiFi from being used. The reasons I want an Xbox One are the more accurate Kinect sensor and the better graphics. I would pay extra for a version with no WiFi.

I don't mind swapping discs when changing games to avoid the need for an internet connection. I don't switch between games that much. If someone else doesn't mind having an internet connection, I would think there could be a different scheme that doesn't involve swapping discs when changing games.

Probably until my eyes bleed and I have no social life outside of work.

Also, more Animal Crossing, Max Payne 3 (of all things...), and whatever else ends up being on sale for ridicu-cheap (hopefully Tomb Raider - and I'm sure those words haven't entered my brain since I was turned on by Lara grunting back in the first game - back when I was 10 years old, mind you).

I've already been eyeing Outcast on GOG, and I've committed to both new runs in Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale 2, so that could be the death of me.
