There is no way they would force you to always be online to play any type of game, there would have to be some type of offline mode that you would be able to play after you registered a game to your account. You probably will need to have it connected to the internet to register the game, but having some type of internet connection to do that should not be a problem for anyone that is buying a $500+ next gen console and if it is then they really are doing things wrong. Getting rid of used games shouldn't be a huge deal if they are adding an online store as well since I'd fully expect a steam type system of them having sales or at least making older games around the price that used games sell at anyway. The only thing that really affects are the people who sell their games after they play them......and yea i guess that sucks for them.
