Do you think this idea would work (DRM Related)?

My idea:

All discs and consoles have a unique ID.

When you put a disc in a console, Microsoft/Sony/whoever register that disc ID to that console ID. From that point on, so long as the console is connected to the Internet (so it can verify the console-disc ID mapping), it can play the game without the disc.

When you put your disc in another console, the unique disc ID is then registered to that console.

The downside is that it requires an online connection for discless play, and also an online connection for the first time you play a game on the console. The actual process of registering the console will require minimum bandwidth, so it wouldn't be a problem in 99% of households who actually have the means to buy these machines.

That again comes back to always online DRM ect, which nearly cost Xbox everything.

People hate DRM, and the unique ID for the discs will drive prices up.

Waste of time and effort to do something silly everyone just ends up hateing you for.

 

I feel like these are all bad ideas, and dont know why people keep rehashing them.

Why is everyone so eager for more and more DRM?

 

My idea:

Let people damn well own the copies of the games they buy and do with them as they please.

Anyone notice how happy people where when Sony announced that? Let people enjoy their games, the end, none of this online DRM crap.
