I love how the green rats crying foul as if their shit box didn't require Internet connection for the first time whether it has a disc drive or not.

You mean laws that big tech lobbied for?
I don't know. Someone in this same thread post the copyright law you can read it.

Also is to set up the drive
Wait until you find out you need Internet to update the console.

Will be interesting to see if this is just for movies and if this is even required for games. I also wonder if the models that have the drive pre-attached need this.

Perhaps you can explain to me what The reason is for specific disc drives to be put into a game console? That shouldn’t be an issue you just need to put one in to play your discs And updating a game console is a Little different then locking disc drives down to a select few vendors Lmao.

Where it’s at.

The process already happens as part of the setup of the disc edition, it’s just invisible. The modular version coming with the drive or not doesn’t change the need for the drive to be registered.

To prevent pirating. A 3rd party drive could allow pirated discs to be read, it could inject malicious software, it also could be an SSD pretending to be a disc drive. It’s not rocket science tbh.
