[QUOTE="brakel, post: 81164, member: 416"] I think MS realized that they had to have physical media but wanted to give the discless options to people as well. To do the things that they wanted to do with disc free gaming (but still have discs as an option) they had to put into place the "draconian" DRM policies. I was like everyone else when MS made their big announcements and didn't understand where MS was coming from. Then when I read further about the disc free options that they were including it made more sense. That is not to say that I want those options. But at least I understood that if they're going to offer options A, B, and C then gamers are going to give up options X and Y. Its a trade off that their player base was not ready to make. I did have a thought though. They could offer two different xbox models. One that follows their initial plan and one that follows the traditional console route. The biggest problem would be with having to have two different lines of disc based games. Probably would make it untenable. [/QUOTE]
