Technically speaking, the Xbone allows used games. Sony answer has always been "It's up to publishers", the same as to what MS said recently:
"Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.
Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once."
Take a look at the bolds, not that much different from what Sony has said.

since the ps4 wil work completley without an internet connection how would they implement the drm in the first place...the biggest problem is the 24 hour check in shit

Simple, when the PS4 detects the game is used, the systems makes a connection to the publishers severs. You won't need internet after activating the game, you won't need to check everyday, you just need to connect for 5 minutes to activate a code or pay a fee directly. Sony technically has nothing to do with this, they just implemented a service on the OS which lets 3rd party publishers to block the game. No real difference from online passes.
Key word are: "It's up to publishers", meaning that Sony first party games won't have any DRM at all, but 3rd party publishers have to tools to do it if they do so desire.

that is an online drm...i would need to connect to the interent for that to work and Sony has stated you can play the ps4 OFFLINE. im talking completely offline...meaning used games would work because there is no authentication that can go on if you are playing single player
