2. Instant game switching. You can't do that if you have to get up and swap a disc.

3. The family sharing thing, which they scrapped.

I didn't really understand some of the whining to be honest. Tons of people use Steam, where you can't sell or trade in games and you don't really own them and now Steam is going to be implementing the same family sharing idea that MS would have had on the Xbox One, had they not backtracked on it.

A lot of the people whining about having to be online once a day for the console to phone home for licensing purposes seemed to be able to get online every day to moan on and on about it too, haha.
I also loved the DRM stuff. It was the next gen vision. From my understanding Family Sharing will be coming soon but IMO bot for at least 6 months once MS have found a way to do it.

I like that idea. Remember it was only a couple of MB to check in so people could tether their mobile phone if no internet connection as per MS statement i while back
