Yea the Xbox will have two known layers of DRM.
First you have the system level DRM which is required and that is the checking in every 24 hours if it is your console or every hour if you are at a friends house.
Then you have the software level that is up to the devs and publishers to decide if they want to use it. Which is limit trading to one time AND that person MUST be on your friends list for at least 30 days. If you wish to lend it out to anyone else, like if you sale a game, then that person must pay a small fee.
A couple devs and publishers have already said they don't like the idea of DRM and won't use it, and some haven't commented yet one way or the other. There are however a couple that said they like it and might use it, EA is one of these. I swear I hate EA more and more with every generation.
