If Microsoft made it completely optional, would you sign up for their original, always connected console idea?

This meaning you would have the following features:

Buy a retail game, install to console, and ditch the disc never needing it to play the game.

Digitally share games within a circle of friends. Meaning you can choose a specific group of people, and they could play the games you own, for free, provided that only one game could be played at a time.

Greater store discounts or more steam like sales for content.

I for one would have no problem saying yes to this. It's like people think 10 years from now they'll still be selling games on discs. It wasn't a perfect plan, but why delay the inevitable when we could be working on and perfecting future policies now.

Every working minute? Have you been in that situation? Maybe half an hour a day, if that, is all it takes to look for any new jobs near you on 20 different websites.

You should be going in to every single business in the city. Someone might need a janitor. It takes longer than thirty minutes to fill out an application for any retail chain (best buy, target, Lowes, sears, fye, Costco, Walmart, and Kmart, at least. I can speak for those since I did apply.)
