They plan to "educate the customer" on why DRM is good? Good luck.

That is indeed their goal. No idea if it will have any success or not but that is what the X1 is designed to do. There is already no rights with digital titles. When you download a game off iOS, Steam, or PSN / XBLA you cant resell it.  Its yet another obstacle in the way that the consumer isnt fully used to yet.

If MS can somehow convince the general consumer to get used to not being able to resell or lend physical media they will be less likely to fight them over digital rights of games. As I said MS is trying to train the consumer to embrace digital only model over the next 5 or so years. For better or for worse.

the carrot must come before the stick... 

..if the market is to transition to digital it MUST because consumers see the benefits and decide to change their spending habits.  any change, when forced, will be rebelled against.   we are call the land of the free for a reason, we hates being controlled by any means.
