So hypothetically speaking if XBO's DRM made your experience better you would welcome it with open arms?

No not a better experience... A more convenient and cheaper one, then sure. I actually would.

However, seems it's going to be the reverse that will happen, I.E. Price of second hand games will probably skyrocket amongst other things.

It doesn't make all DRM "evil", just badly made and implemented then forced onto the consumer, you think PC gamers were forced to use Steam when it first launched? :P No, gamers chose to use it because it's convenient and cheaper.

They "chose" it because the best game on the platform was exclusive to Steam, it took several years before Steam became anything like benficial to the consumer.  Don't rewrite history to make it seem like it was alwyas this benevolent service.  I'd argue that most of it's better services came out when it directly copied some of XBL's feature set.
