The xbox one is hardly the first "always online" service and it definitely won't be the last. I think this is the future.

SebC already answered this in good detail, but they aren't the same at all. You aren't buying CD's through these services, you're paying to use their entire library. With the Xbox One, you're paying $60 for a game which Microsoft says "you're paying for the license and the right to play the game, not the game".
