I'm gonna wait for more. Maybe they got fed some bad info.
I'm... thinking that's a bullshit story, although if it is, Poe's law will be in full effect. Microsoft may be stupid but it's not THAT stupid. Right? Somebody?
I am calling shenanigans. Microsoft cannot possibly be this stupid. It's humanly IMPOSSIBLE!
Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.
...yeah, I'm pretty sure they can't limit things that specifically unless they purposefully coded their network that way. Once it hit the "We decided on this via obesity rates" it's obvious the article is bunk.
Departed days ahead.
It's a satire website. Take a look at their other articles. This is just a parody of Microsoft's "some countries don't get an Xbone" shenanigans.
I guess we could go... wherever we please.
Thank yee lord.
Hey this thing actually looks pretty funny.

This quotation from the article makes me think it is bullshit:
Nobody would be that stupid, condescending, arrogant, and Stupid Evil. Nobody.
Kudos to the mapmaker, if indeed it is a parody, as they were clever enough to put as non-Xbone states the ones likely to have the worst interweb access - Flyover Country, basically. Of course, the residents of those state are probably used to being screwed in this way - I get the impression the coastal cities are resented in the rural US in the same way London is in the rural UK.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, it was indeed a parody. Thank God.

False alarm? Okay with me, because if that WAS true, then there would be rioting in the streets.

Yeah I just caught that. Especially after reading this line:
Gamers in Washington, D.C., the capital of the US, have decided collectively against purchasing any Xbox One or Xbox 360 products as a form of protest. When we asked the representative about support in the capital, she responded, “It was definitely obesity and quality of life that made us decide they were not worth pursuing at all.”
I got suckered.
Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.
FALSE ALARM PEOPLE.
Xbone still sucks.
Let's dance, boys!
Got suckered too. Though considering all the news we've heard and MS's tip-toeing, I don't know what's real and what's not. :/

SOPA? Lol wut? U Mad US?
Well, I don't see the rumors of Alaska and Hawaii not being supported at launch as outside the realms of possibility, seeing as neither state is connected to the US mainland, but as for the others, they have no excuse and even Microsoft should know better (and may very well do, if this rumor is false outside of Alaska and Hawaii).
EDIT: And so it is false. But still, as I said, I wouldn't be totally surprised if Alaska and Hawaii were more troublesome than the other US states. Here in the UK, there are lots of companies which serve/deliver to England, Scotland and Wales, but not Northern Ireland, which isn't connected to the mainland.

I believe it was posted earlier that military folks are completely fucked by it if they are quartered outside the USA, due to region-locking, support, and the need for quick and regular internet. Not to mention security concerns.

It was stated earlier in this thread (or another) that the X Box One was welcome to the Tyson Zone. Now we have had a practical demonstration of what that means.
@Achameineid: actually,. even flyover country cities are resented in the rural areas. Its why cities have the highest population density yet the fewest votes in state senates because the rural areas have the sheer yardage.
Absolutely no relation to NLK
Come on, really? Microsoft might have their head up their ass, but that was clearly a joke article.

Gunpla is amazing!
People still don't know P4r Gaming is The Onion of gaming huh?
The standard Xbone isn't in Amazon's top 100 Best Sellers anymore and there are an additional four versions of the PS 4 among the top 100 now ranked at 7,8,9 and 43.
I never heard of that site before
Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.
Anyone knows if there is a way to keep track on the Xbox One's performance after it goes behind 100th place? I can't see it anymore.
Face me now, Bitch!
Just click on the Day one Xbox One edition and Look at the standard version.
God damn, that was in mere hours.

Well, people can't actually buy that version.
That hasn't stopped the Launch Day version of the PS 4 from holding it's place in 3rd.
.......What the FUCK?!
