is there a way to use this piece of micro$oft spyware for playing games but without connecting it to a network? just got a new one, and setup demands that it connects to a wireless or wired network. wtf?!
Return it, get a ps4

AFAIK, you have to let it connect once for account authentication and updates... once you get those and as long as you dont play any MP games, you can isolate it and play. I believe you have to let it connect every 30 days or so.

no u dont lmao
you have to connect once to update then thats it

they lifted the 30 day refresh requirement? If I remember correctly, the issue was that if the console did not connect for 30 days, it would not let the user log onto the account which also locks out the saves/progress for any games played.

is there a way to get around this?
on a related note, has the xbone been hacked to run linux yet?

It's hard coded to check for updates. The idea is to deliver a consistent user experience.
But please, return it and buy a PS4. You're too stupid to own an xbox...

You stole it, just be honest Jamal.

OP who fucking cares? It's not your PC, all you're doing on this shitbox is playing fucking video games. You are a complete autistic retard if you can't handle M$ knowing what video game you are currently playing.
