Microsoft’s Xbox DRM will lock you out of your own content if you get your red-ringed Xbox replaced.
I bolded that sentence, to give you something to chew on.
If you got your Xbox and started renting movies, buying music and downloading arcade games, consider this awesome little tid-bit of information: The DRM on the Xbox locks the content to the serial ID of that console. If your Xbox red-rings on you (like they all do) and you get it replaced, it will be a different Xbox, and your content will no longer be fully functional.
Some of you may have never considered this most rudimentary problem because it just seems too stupid to be real… but it is.
The Consumerist covered a story from a reader that took 4 months to finally get a “Sorry, fuck off” reply from Microsoft about getting access to his DRM’ed content after getting his Xbox replaced.
Microsoft’s message to gamers: You retards will buy our stuff anyway, so just shut up and buy it again.
