Is it just me or ....

The media check protection lasted probably less than 2 weeks. And there aren't any more protections they can add for games now. They have to be very created, because the way games are copied makes it very easy to backup. Hardware checks are the only protectoins they can really have, and those were bypassed easily by crackers.

As to answering the initial statement, well, any new protection is usually bypassed with a new set of updated bios. Since most chips are upgradable with the great ease, patches are almost never needed. So as soon as MS comes out with a new protection, that is common like the past protections, the bios hackers will just update and release a new set of bios to bypass em in a week.
