"Microsoft has advised people who have no internet connection to keep playing on their Xbox 360. Recently, the company clarified its digital and DRM policies for their upcoming Xbox One system.  The console will require an internet connection once every 24 hours in order to play games, and once an hour if playing on an Xbox One that isn&amp;#039;t your own. However, live TV, Blu-ray and DVD movie options will still be accessible. Microsoft executive Don Mattrick told GameTrailers in an interview that was filmed just before E3 that he understood why some people are frustrated at their policies. &amp;quot;Fortunately, we have a product for people who aren&amp;#039;t able to get some form of connectivity,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s called Xbox 360. &amp;quot;If you have zero access to the internet, that is an offline device.&amp;quot;      Mattrick continued: &amp;quot;Seriously, when I read the blogs and thought about who&amp;#039;s really the most impacted, there was a person who said, &amp;#039;Hey I&amp;#039;m on a nuclear sub&amp;#039;. And I don&amp;#039;t even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub, but I&amp;#039;ve got to imagine it&amp;#039;s not easy to get an internet connection. &amp;quot;But hey, I can empathise. If I was on a sub I&amp;#039;d be disappointed. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a service-based world, if you think about things and how they get better with an internet connection. That&amp;#039;s a design choice we&amp;#039;ve made. I think people will appreciate it. &amp;quot;We did a lot of testing [and] a lot of consumer research, and I think we made a good choice.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
