Since everyone is up in arms about DRM around here, I am curious how you guys thing PS4 and Xbox One should go about in implementing security features for gaming without DRM?

Both consoles are X86 architectures that require game installs, so playing off Blurays is not a viable option, not that you would want to anyways due to slow load times...

Having a game bluray in the drive after install while you play is an option, but would you really sacrifice the ability of being able to play any game anywhere anytime without carrying your entire gaming library with you at all times? What about swapping disks? these consoles are supposed to be able to multitask blazingly fast and do things like resume playing a game from a save you reached 2 days ago...How would it look if you resume this save, only for the console to say "Insert disk to continue!"? Not very pretty in my opinion...

What other ideas do we got?

5 installs per copy and then disk implodes?

Stopping all cloud computing and innovation and sticking to physical medium for gaming?

Any other ideas?
