It'll be on an individual basis and until publishers reveal their intentions as to whether or not they're going to incorporate something like that, we wont know.

...and really, unless Sony is going to REQUIRE the disc to be installed before being played, there's absolutely no need for a 24 hour check.

I think people are going to be REALLY disappointed when they figure out that while Sony probably isn't doing anything, the publishers will.
First, unlike you I think Sony has been vague enough about the plans that they MIGHT try to "change" their stance on the issue and really take advantage of MS. Other than that Kotaku article most of the journalists seem to think Sony hasn't said one way or the other. I followed it fairly closely and didn't see that. I did recall them saying a game like an MMO would obviously have to be online b/c its an online game.

Second Sony has 100% control over whether a publisher has DRM or not. They could simply forbid any publisher for doing it in order to publish on their platform. Take your ball and go home. Would EA (publishers) do it? They might think about it until they saw the demand I think it would create when PS4 crushes XB1 in sales due to the no DRM policy of Sony.

I've admitted your probably right and PS4 will have something similar to XB1 thus the "dream" conference. IMHO its the best for the consumer (me) and the best for Sony b/c no DRM would only help it sell more consoles to its consumers over its rival MS taking market share away from them.
