Fuck DRM!  This is why I only buy PC games without it, like Valve Games and Blizzard games.

The new Battle.net is DRM. SC2 will be required to be online 24/7..count on it.
 
edit:steam is DRM too (you have to run it to play Valve games)

The way Xbox DRM works is that your console and your storage device each have a unique ID. As long as those IDs match up you're cool to play games and use other content without being logged into LIVE, but if you switch HDDs and consoles you must be logged in to use them. 
 
Edit 
 
You can go here:  http://www.xbox.com/en-us/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/default.htm to witch the content to your new Xbox, but you can only do this once every 12 months.
