I am fine with always online DRM for games that have online components. (BLOPS2 multiplayer, Battlefield, Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, etc).

I have a problem with always online DRM for single player games that have nothing to do with online, or if it means you can't play the game in offline mode (something like KOA: Reckoning or Skyrim or Heavy Rain have nothing to do with online whatsoever).

Also, if there is no way to activate a game made from a used sale, that will -- in my opinion -- completely invalidates the Xbox720 as a possible purchase for me. (Do they have an official name for it yet? I know they're calling the dev kits and whatnot "Durango," but still...)

I would even be okay with a $5 activation fee for used games. If it completely blocks used games entirely, then I can guarantee I will never buy one.

Completely agrees with everything you said. Not being able to play single player games without being online is batshit insane. One of many reasons I will NEVER get Diablo 3.

No known name yet. There are rumors that it might be called "The Next Xbox"...
