The question is "Are you worried about the Microsoft DRM push?" No. Why? The DRM push is not coming from Microsoft it is coming from the publishers. In a week's time, we will be talking about how the new DRM works for BOTH Xbox One and PS4.

A preview? Sony patent United States Application US20130007892. Sony's games can be restricted using an RFID tracking chip in the discs, locking disc to the first console that uses it. So the question we could all be asking is, will Sony have a system for used games at all?

The times are changing people and it's not coming from Microsoft or Sony, it's the publishers.
