Apparently the new Xbox will have always-online DRM as well, so that's crap if you have a weak connection.

Read this about Xbox, not Playstation though.
You have to activate a game on a machine, so no swapping games, preowned games.
Not sure what happens if your console dies aswell.

Sure fire way to make me buy a PS4.
ianbaker
Think the PS4 will be the same im afraid.
Deano
They will never, in a million years, double 360 and get 720 and name the new Xbox that. It sounds absolutely shit.

I've read that it just being called "The Xbox" could be possible, sounds a hell of alot better than having 720 on the end.
Franck
People thought 360 was a stupid name when it was released too.

You won't need to be online all the time though.
Franck

Because they'll make a lot more money?
Franck
How? Unless I've completely missed something pirates still need to use a modified console to play downloaded games.
Or is the DRM just meant to kill off the market for used games?

If you can't buy pre owned games (Which Sony/Microsoft make no money out of) you'll need to buy the games new.
I actually like the idea, it means that if you lose/break your game, as it's linked to your account, you'll be able to download it again, in the same way as steam.

I'd be amazed if more than 1% of people don't have their consoles online.

Well its not like it makes them any money. The people who lose are those that cannot afford to buy games at full value.
Flash.
Why? The PC have already done it, I don't see why the consoles wouldn't as well.
King Luis
If Sony and MS decide to block used games on their consoles (which wont happen imo) then where are they going to sell the consoles? Cause you sure as hell aren't going to have Amazon, Game, Gamestop, even supermarkets now aren't going to sell a console that blocks a revenue stream that is so profitable for them. Retailers hold all the cards when it comes to used games, not the console makers.
King Luis
Also PC games are traditionally cheaper, and its a lot easier to pirate PC games, well it was in the past.
