I'm sure there are, but MS focus will be LIVE.

Now! Let us leave it!

Heh!

Lets agree to disagree. I can tell what you are getting at but from my point of view there are more offline titles than online that will be of any interest to me.

Of course it is......but MS *will* want more and more people on LIVE, meaning more and more updates/levels/patches - new dashboards for godsake on LIVE. And more and more games, because it is, 'THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!'.

USA is mostly BB.......makes sense with their plans. As is Japan, although the XBox isn't doing so great there. Europe will catch up, and then online will be far more dominant...or so they hope.

Of course offline games will be in abundance, just the huge majority of extras, bigger releases (i.e CBFD etc) will be concentrating on the online aspects.

*Looks at release calendar*

Nope I think offline is pretty much a firm focus.

Your opinion. I am more than happy with the offline side.

What do Microsoft trumpet as the/ir future of games? Online. Where do you get *all* (not some) updates/levels/patches from? Online. Where does the XBox excel? Online....in comparison to its offline anyway.

MS want us all on BB with them as soon as possible.

You know this how? Its the first time it is going to be done worldwide as the last one was an idea FROM Microsoft for Dead or Alive 3 which was on a US version of OXM which allowed extra costumes to be downloaded from the demo disc to the Hard Drive.

I know, but Microsoft will encourage/allow much more LIVE influence than non usage.

But it is a good idea.
