    DRM IMO is a good thing. It gives the studios some assurance and incentive to produce better quality content(I mean format, not the content itself) and at the end of the day, it will be cracked and the cycle repeat(and they don't care by then).

    Just let those who is willing to pay, pay first.

    I'd bet money that this is overblown and won't be nearly as significant a change as it seems, much like a lot of stories like this.

    lol we all love DRM but it will be broken.. Anyways Ubisoft's DRM is bye bye in AC2 and Silent Hunter 5 so i won't be suprised that after sandy bridge intel will silently remove it after all the uproar too after it comes out.
