Alex C.: ''If Microsoft are to lock games down to a single user and require an always-on internet connection, then Sony have everything to gain from what has to be a considerable misstep from Redmond that’s likely to cost them a good share of the next-gen pie. It sounds almost ridiculous – copy protection gone too far – but that’s what rumours are suggesting today.
But first, some balance. Whilst the sources are apparently solid (“we’re confident they are,” Edge tell us) I’m still struggling to consider that the two main factors – tying a game to one individual and needed a constant green light from your router – aren’t just options available to the publisher or developer. Like region locking, for example.
Surely Microsoft isn’t crazy enough to enforce such systematic restrictions on every Xbox 720 game they rubber stamp. I can’t see that happening.''

Sony filed a patent for the exact same thing though...
It's rumored that both PS4&720 will block used games
If MS does it, so will Sony.
Sony filed the patent multiple times, but never went forward with it, just like the patents for game-interrupting ads since the PS1 days...

because everyone will go out and buy the ps4 instead when you can buy used.
