First of all I don't buy this as Sony really doesn't have much choice here. If 3rd parties and publishers want DRM(and they do) they will get DRM...If Sony doesn't provide it, they will get spanked.

Secondly, this "DRM" is just software and not something that is set in stone, meaning it can be adjusted at any time. Both Sony and Microsoft are going to try things in the next 6 months and find the best possible solution for gamers and publishers alike.

Lastly, this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion. When its all said and done, people will most likely be able to trade in and sell their hard copies of the game. The moment the game is installed on another machine, it will get disabled on the original account. Hence why a 24 hour internet check-in makes sense.

The problem with what Microsoft are doing to me, is not what they are doing, but how they are conveying it.

This was the question on everyone's lips after the rumours and they completely failed to address it in their event or post press conference interviews
