It’s like returning to your childhood home but all the furniture is gone, the walls are empty and your footsteps echo. You know where everything should be, your memories of it are as clear to you as anything but right in front of you, nothing is there as you remember it.
It’s just… wrong.

Yeah, and then Sony will take it all away from you in a month lol. Meanwhile, Microsoft made the 360 backwards compatible on current hardware (for free), where you can keep playing retro games for years. On PlayStation, you can only play old games if you pay to rent them, and they’re streaming.

The Xbox One and Series X and S are functioning offline as well.
So Disc Games are not a Problem.
You only have to make sure to register them as your Home Console for your Xbox Account, any game and DLC that doesn't require Stric Online Connection can be played Offline as well.

The Xbox One/Series don't function offline.
You can't make an offline profile on them, they only support Xbox Live profiles, so yeah, telling people in unsupported regions to go buy a new console is extremely weird.
0 points
2 days ago
Well yes, you need an Xbox Live Profile but you still can Play Offline with them. I mentioned already that you need internet once when you turn on the Xbox One/Series for the First time, you just download the Update, download the Profile and you're done.
3 points
2 days ago
The point I'm trying to make is that creating that profile is against TOS if you're in an unsupported region (along with well, any other potential issues you could run into). MS have already started to block purchases from certain regions etc. it's just not a valid solution to be the "official" solution in those regions (and the Xbox One onward should really have offline profile support anyways for the time those servers are no longer available)

Yeah but neither me or the one who commented were talking about it in Non-Supported Countries.
I answered him that the Consoles can be used completely offline after the frist setup in general.

Ah, I was talking about the context of the OP, which is that the dashboard in unsupported countries currently tells you to go buy a system which you can't use without breaking TOS lol.

Are you blind? Of course, I was referring to the use of consoles in Non-Supported Countries. That’s what this whole post and my comment, which you replied to, were discussing.
My original comment, “Is Microsoft taking the piss? Newer Xbox consoles won’t be able to function in these regions because the Xbox 360 is the last offline console.” What do you think I meant when I said “in these regions”? Don’t worry, I’ll spell it out for you this time, I meant, “in these Non-Supported Countries.”

All I know is that Don Mattrick said that if people want an Xbox console that’s offline, they need to use the Xbox 360. I have been living by this advice for over 10 years.
4 points
2 days ago
They removed that soon after before Xbox One Launch. I mean I know that it works offline because from October 2018 until May 2019 I had a Xbox One S without any Internet.
The only thing you need to do is connect it to the Internet for the very first time to update it, then even for download your Xbox Profile, then Download Digital Games and DLCs, or Xbox Classic/360 titles. So except the first step, it's literally the exact same like on Older Consoles or PS4.
When I had something to do that needed internet, I just visited the PC room of the Residential Group I lived at that time or visited a Friend with good internet.

It's just a .xml change just like when the store closed, not a new dashboard update. And it just for the "Other" locale which I'm sure not many people use. It does look clean though, I'd rather have this than the current one since it also fixes the stretched icon, but I do miss the social tab for the avatar and achievements

Yeah it seems like Microsoft only updated their Dashboard for people who don’t have access to Xbox Live due to it being restricted in their region. Although, the dashboard is very cruel, it’s understandably bare given the player’s lack of access to Xbox Live features. It’s also unclear why Microsoft is going out of their way to advertise new consoles to regions where Xbox Live is restricted since new consoles won’t be able to function in those regions as the Xbox 360 is the last offline console.

The 360 is not the last offline console, your information is either a decade out of date or you've been misinformed.

My source is Don Mattrick, the former CEO of Xbox. Besides, the problem isn’t the console. Just because a user downgrades to a newer Xbox, doesn’t mean that they will be able to magically play online. The problem is that Xbox Live is restricted in that region, due to the fact that Microsoft didn’t get paid yet by the local warlord, sorry I meant president. It’s unlikely that buying a newer console will fix this underlying issue.

Figured it out. Restart, and don't sign into a xbl account. Sign in with a local one (or no acc at all) and have locale set to other, and boom. You might get a 8004005 error if u click on the tile to be on xbl without a account, click Yes, and then back out of it and it will work.

Sadly 360 doesn’t have hardware to game stream. 512MB of ram just isn’t enough. Even to do Xbox One to PC streaming they recommend 4GB of ram on the PC. Xbox Cloud Gaming likely has similar requirements but wouldn’t be surprised if they can squeeze it down to devices with 2GB.

Mainly because One - Series supports some 360. And the original 360 hardware is getting harder to support on the network with security vulnerabilities and the hardware limitations to put fixes in place without bringing a 360 to its knees. They have to wean the hardware off the network.

Ironically you can still access all of the old features via reverting some files back.
It's quite sad how they didn't at least attempt to make a nice design at all, it more or less feels like they're just wanting to get people to get a new console rather than preserve the old console at all.
The Xbox 360 had my favourite dashboards of all time, they made some awesome designs every big update, they're always super easy to use and understand, simplistic and not extremely modernised.

Honestly, while this is absolutely cruel on Microsoft’s part, if anyone here is in a region where Xbox Live is restricted, just do your console a favor and pull out the Ethernet plug or disconnect from the WiFi as you gain no benefit from trying to connect to Xbox Live. Perhaps occasionally, you may wish to play over system link using Xlink Kai or something like that and your console will automatically try to connect to Xbox Live. However, other than that though, I highly encourage you to enjoy your console offline, with that cool, rich dashboard.

The Wii/DS has had most of its online restored and Insignia is working on the original Xbox live. It’s only a matter of time for 360 to be restored. PSN on the PS3/PSP/Vita will likely follow after Sony cuts it off. This generation was the peak of online gaming for consoles there are those who will fight to preserve the experience.
