I love killing misinformation. Sony has had to fan off the MS flames since February before the Xbox One was revealed because people feared always online and DRM. February to June is how much Microsofts leaks had people pissing their pants and some how Sony had to be involved.

Nor Microsoft ever told they had a ALWAYS ONLINE console. ALWAYS ONLINE is one kind of DRM.

Sony could have worked in a Stem like once online validation for a game. Or once a week. Or unic instalation codes...

Well, for what I can see games the Disc Base Model is the most ancient DRM model.

Shhhhh my child, stop fighting it. If you read the article they said there were rumors of always online being in the Xbox One (codenamed: Durango at the time) and since Sony and MS are so similar in their style of appealing to games (I wonder why?), Sony had to also be questioned? February to June.  I love this title.

"It's Official Again: PS4 Has No DRM, No Fees, No Internet Registration, No Check-In"

Sorry for such bold letters....the press can be so loud. ::Shakes head::

"Leave it to the publishers to decided..."

Ohh, the magic words. Oh Sony is so good to us anti-social beens!!! Sony loves us!!

Ok, serious. I think there is some people here still belive the One is still a aways online machine, with no 24h forgiviness. This is part of Microsoft PR desaster, no one can doubt.

The core of the question is not aways onlie, but being able to rent, borrow or sell your games. See that this is not the question in the Kotaku article. But the aways online part that Microsoft never confirmed. People misundertood this with the cloud powered games. 

And yes, the 24h check was to remove Gamestop and others to damage the publishers and developers.

Again, Sony NEVER spoke about sell-in, used or rent games untill E3. And again, Microsoft NEVER spoke of the Xbox One being 100% online.

Deal with it.
