okay, i will be the first to ask.

What's preventing me from renting any games and store them in my harddrive? 5 bucks a pop at Blockbuster will save me 55 bucks.

 

What kind of new DRM will Microsoft introducing?

        Well, even if you rent or barrow, you have to return the game sometime.  I am assuming that a serialized reading of the games particular copy is imbedded on the hardrive for download.  Allowing only that individual game beging played on only that individual disk.  If you return that DVD than the HD download wont work because you no longer are using that particular disk. 

I am sure someone will hack it or figure a way around as usual, but things are getting tuffer to hack these days.
