The so called DRM chip is every XB1 built to date.

Smart and tricky move by Microsoft, we all know both consoles will be soft-hacked eventually and since every XBoxOne needs to be connected to the internet after being formatted to work. That chip is going to brick a lot of early adopters.

This won't effect the average user. Though I'm curious how Microsoft handles the users who play new games online a lot earlier before their official release.

You keep going on and on about this, but I'll reply the same way! They signed an agreement! They knew what they where getting into. Microsoft didn't break into their house and confiscate their items, they just bricked the consoles temporarly. You keep trying to put Microsoft in bad light, but they did the right thing! Things like this can HARM Microsoft's brandname! But your reasoning won't change. Oh, so I run a red light! But I shouldn't get a ticket because its my car and I can do whatever I want! Yup, that's pretty much so your reasoning.

Everybody that bought a retail Xbox One signed the same agreement.

The OP text is from the Live Agreement and not the Beta Test agreement.

Nope, they signed a seperate agreement. 

^ Huge if true.

That basically means MS can brick&kill anyones consol whenever they feel like it.

If I owned a Xbox One, id be worried some hacker found out how to do this and killed my machine.

Same way they always have - They don't care if it's a legitimate copy of the game. I had Advanced Warfare (as did thousands of others) on Xbox One about 4-5 days before the official release and played it online with no issues. For the most part, console manufacturers and developers/publishers haven't seemed to care much about this as long as it's not a pirated copy of the game.

Then I'll say it again: this won't effect the average user but the legality of this action is a different story and so far it has only effected people who have committed a serious offense.

@ PieToast

What if some hacker finds out how to do this?
Who is going to replace all those lost Xbox Ones?

Trust you me, if a hacker can get into MS system to perform this action on multiple Xbox ones, MS would have a much bigger issue.  You really have to look at the picture.  I know people think hackers can do all kinds of stuff but there is a limit to what can be compromised and cannot.
