I love how every negative XBO rumour must be true yet every negative Sony rumour must be false. How about instead of telling everyone to not comment on rumours you actually all practice what you preach. The PS4 will have DRM just like the 360 and PS3 do, the question will be how restrictive the policies are. I think some of you need to learn what DRM actually means.

Nope. PS4 can work fine without an internet connection. That's already been confirmed. So, no DRM. TRUTHFACT.
Whether or not publishers like EA will implement some sort of DRM on THEIR PS4 games, we don't know yet. It's all just specualtion at this point. We don't even have any rumors to discuss.
Xbox One requires an internet connection for a reason. DRM is built into the system. Whether or not Microsoft did this themselves or publishers pushed for it doesn't matter. Microsoft went through with it so they are the ones being blamed and for good reason. We already know Sony won't follow MS. Patents aren't a good indication of anything as 99% fo them never get used.

You have no idea what DRM is, the rest of your post is meaningless and in no way related to my point.

I know exactly what it is. To put it simply, a game needs to phone-home to the servers to make sure the game you are playing is legally downloaded. PS4 has already been confirmed to not require an internet connection. So it doesn't have DRM. That doesn't mean publishers can't implement DRM of their own on a game by game basis.(It's already possible on PS3/360) Most choose not to as it is intrusive and only punishes those who buy their stuff legally.
Xbox One sounds like it has DRM on a system-wide level. That's what the 24-hour authentication is for.
