    "If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time--currently three minutes, if I remember correctly--the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started."

    Since this is an anonymous source, I probably shouldn't be putting as much emphasis into this, but did the source just announce that games and apps will be able to "suspend"? We already know the PS4 can do this, but since we don't technically know anything about the next Xbox, this seems like news to me. I haven't noticed anybody else mentioning this, for good reason since I suppose it was out shadowed a bit.

    Is this new to anybody else?

    @sgtpierceface: I think that's just assumed; so, it isn't really noteworthy. All of the new consoles have had the capability to suspend software. The Wii U can do it, the 3DS can do it, the Vita can do it, and the PS4 will be able to do it. So, it stands within reason that the next Microsoft console will be able to do it as well. Right?

    @truthtellah: Yea, I guess that makes sense. I remember when they announced the feature during the PS4 live stream, I was pretty surprised. t never really occurred to me that a console could have that feature. I don't know, it's probably just interesting to me in that regard.

    Yeah, it's pretty cool, and it's nice that it should now be standard. :)
