Surely someone in Redmond had to have enough common sense to say, "Fellas, people are going to be right pissed off about this."
Microsoft's initial plan (I'm sure they'll call an audible at some point) is Earth-shatteringly stupid. It looks to me like they are telling a large portion of their consumers to **** themselves.

Exactly right. I wasn't going to really consider buying any new XBOX, but it really does amaze me how dumb these decisions are. That guy on youtube that plays Francis also does some fairly good reviews and discussions (when he not playing Francis). As you said, it pretty much comes to Microsoft telling people that are poor, don't want to play online, don't have access to fast internet, etc, to **** themselves.
