What? so if i spent my $ on points to buy a game that didnt do good i may not have the right to play it anymore cause not enough people like it? BS! F$#K M$ then! a$$hol3s unless they make it so i can play it off line & keep it on my hdd i am cool with that! i dotn see the huge deal! if it isn't hugely popular maybe make a section of older titles & keep it there! unless they r trying to cut bandwidth usage by killing apps that aren't making enough $!

So while most users will not notice any significant changes to the dashboard this spring, I can tell you that the team will be releasing a new digital rights management (DRM) tool next month that will allow you to better consolidate your licenses for downloaded content to a single Xbox and allow you the freedom to be able to play your content both online and offline."
