I wonder if anybody remembers when it leaked Microsoft had a concept of a plan about restrictions on Xbox discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about "sharing discs" on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars...
Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I've even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (still unbeatable AV quality). Sony won both the console and disc drive wars FFS! Still not enough. "Line must go up more!"
I hope MS is at least mocking them back right now, for giggles. Before announcing a very similar thing next year...
Generally, I find that the discs often little more than licenses and require the actual have to be downloaded.
