The claim is the PS4 will have DRM.. not sure why you and some others instantly equate this to an attack on Sony and rush to the defense.

Because you are wrong...

1. Both Sony and MS are investing heavily in cloud based technology. Sony is pursuing the streaming option with Gaikai and MS is investing in cloud computing

2. DRM. Its coming to both consoles and a LOT of it.  MS will do this through mandatory installs and online authentication while Sony will use their watermarked disc trademark. According to Giantbomb Activision, EA, and Ubisoft are demanding it on both consoles and neither MS nor Sony will tell them no. Those publishers are far too large to simply ignore

BTW that took me a whole 2 seconds to find and I can find dozens more in the same time period

How is a watermarked disc DRM? You do know what DRM stands for right? Digital Rights Management. DRM requires an internet connection.
A watermarked disc would be nothing more then a piracy prevention-kind-of-thing. Could it be used in the same way as DRM? I guess it could server the same purpose but it wouldn't actually be called DRM. DRM is intrusive. A watermarked disc doesn't sound very intrusive from my point of view. I'd love to be proven wrong!

Think zombies vs the infected. They may look like zombies and may act like zombies, but they're not zombies!

@bolded- You trolling us right now? If we were on GAF I would say you were fishing for a tag.
