There are lots of benefits to digitally based gaming with DRM which to me are 10X better than disk based gaming...I would be willing to pay more for games to have these benefits. But to each is own...

People really need to use Steam and PCs for gaming before jumping the gun on digital based DRM. It's really not the boogeyman.

I think the whole mess is very unfortunate, I also think the change is a backward step, but really the fault lies with the atrocious PR job MS did of the whole thing. The one thing I really despise about the current gen consoles is they are the only thing I have preventing me from being completely digital only. At least the Xbox is keeping the all games can be purchased digitally and downloaded but personally I feel I lost more than I gained in this backwards step and the loss of the family sharing being the biggest. But the crowd has spoken and I think those that prefer digital are still in the minority.

I totally agree with this. Microsoft failed to make a compelling picture on why digital only is the bees knees and why DRM is needed for this to work and they thought that if they provide very little information about it, gamers will not ask questions and subsequently freak out. The media loves to write sensational articles and will use fear to get peoples attention, and where there is uncertanty, there is plenty of fear.
