Sounds great. Can people choose to opt-out and not claim the "digital entitlement" and continue to play with the disk as normal, or will it be forced the next time a disk game is played? What are the down sides, seems like none right now.

If Xbox continues to support disks on their next console, they might be able to eke out a big portion of console buyers from PlayStation with this kind of move.
