DRM would have been in the form of a CD key or digital registration etc. So once the disc is installed on your console it can only be used on your console. Thats the bit they have removed.
They removed the manual update because too many people where struggling to follow the 20 step install guide apparently. So microsoft say you can contact them directly, they will give you the patch and talk you through how to update.
