people are not looking at this from all angles, Consoles have always been sold at a loss and recouping was done on games (thats why console games usually cost more) with the current console cycle game costs increased substantially (and this generation it will cost even more), and more people started pirating, remember the 360 does not require a modchip, you just need to google on how to flash the dvd drive, Thats one of the reasons why the dreamcast failed, any idiot was able to pirate games on there, Yes this is a fairly strict form of drm but i wouldnt call it more intrusive than steam. also the xbox has wifi so if you need to connect for a minute or whatever to authenticate your console in the 24 hour period and telkom is down you can always use your phone as a wifi hotspot to do that.Originally Posted by Saint_Dee
i feel this is something small thats being blown out of proportion. The used game policy from ms i dont agree with though
