Granted they could release a patch right before their collapse that unblocks all the DRM or whatever. Anyways, imagine a future apocalypse where you are powering your TV, video game console through a generator and there isn't any internet. How are you going to play those games if they are DRM to internet connection? Granted my scenarios have a .0001% of chance of actually happening. How about this scenario though... Your city is struck by a huge disaster (although your house remains). Internet services are down and you can't play video games. Granted you probably have more things to worry about then playing a video game. Hand helds are superior to home console systems in terms of playing after disaster!

I doubt MS will be going out of business any time soon. Regardless, if it came to an end of the world scenario, I think playing video games would be pretty low on the list of things which bothered me. I remember a time when videogames didn't exist and life was fine then; you could always read a book.
