| I hope they do, that will be another of the many nails waiting to be hammered in the coffin... |
|
|
| What a load of tosh. No one would buy a ps3 if this was the case.
Do not believe everything! |
|
|
|
|
| I don't think they will do either to be honest, why would they when it would only harm PS3 sales.
Maybe its just a publicity stunt, albeit a lame one ;)
|
|
|
| People spread these rumors because the purchased a xbox 360 in the last 6 months and wished they had waited for a PS3, so they are going to try to get other people to think that Sony is doing all these bad things so they can justify their purchase and make other try to follow them. Boy this sound sound like people who said that mac was crap and you should buy a Microsoft Windows system and look how many people are now starting to switch to Macintosh now that they found out what Microsoft is really about and how they fooled a lot of customers. Learn a lesson now!! Do not fall for Microsoft saying there system is the greatest and other are bad, they want you to get there system so they can screw you all over again....... |

|
| I am not sure if its people with xboxs as you say, esp when you consider that Sony did actually file the patent technology to stop people sharing their games and selling them on after.
Also the news is being published mainly by news sites that have no alliance with either Microsoft or Sony (i.e us).
Sony could even be happy with the press, after all they are getting plenty of column inches and the more people talk about the PS3 the better (in Sonys eyes). What the old saying "any publicity is good publicity"? :) |
|
|
| I dont think this is a scam because i found articles all over the web about this .If sony does that it kills every chance of buying the cosole .Get a 360 +wii combo ! |
|
|
| Its a tough call as the Playstation has a very strong following.
The move would put of the casual gamer, but you will probably find hardcore PS fans will buy the console regardless.
Maybe the next poll should be, would you buy a PS3 if they did make it illegal to re-sell games (or if they locked games to the console if was first played on)
|

|
| $80 for a game I don't even know, FU SONY!!! I'm buying my first nitendo. |

|
| From a Digg user, "Not only is this a dupe, it is a lie. Read the other one, I have a huge post along with other people with proof that this is a lie. Not only that, but when was gameradar ever right? They say they have sources, but then their info is proven false." |
|
|
| I must admit i was / am very sceptical of the news making it illegal to re-sell games. Which is why we tried to post an opjective story, stating what was true, what was a rumour, and what we thought.
Not only does it make little business sense but it would be a logistical nightmare to enforce the idea of stoping people re-selling games.
The patent to lock games to consoles, although i am sceptical of this technology. It has been proven that Sony did register the patent, but do i see them ever using it? No, because again although its easier to implement it, it makes very little business sense to do so. |

| So... when your ps3 breaks and you have to replace it, you can re-buy all of your games. Or, go through some type of "migration" program to re-liscense all your games to your replacement console with Sony's intelligent customer service reps. That's awesome. |
|
|
| People trade-in to buy new games. Removing the ability to trade-in with affect the purchasing of new games as people will have to pay more. Therefore, there is no way this will happen. Besides which, what happens if you have two PS3's in the house? |
|
|
| pathetic. how does one rent a game?
thats the most obvious question... =_=
friggen sony... go kill urselves |
|
|
| If this is true, then **** sony. Who the the hell do the think they are. Oh yes youve paid your hard earned cash for the game, but actually its not yours. Do this sony and ll become a 360 fan boy. |
|
|
| Please don't write stupid and unconfirmed articles like this again. The allegations are based on a patent registered by Sony in the PS1 days... The patent covers CD-ROMS. Please no more anti-sony FUD. |
|
|
| Do you remember Sony's root kit? just patent IS the proof. thay will |
|
|
| Ok. Let's talk after we already pay $600+software for it. and wait till sony to confirm it after that. |
|
|
| Late 2005 Sony debunked the first round of rumours about locking games to a console by saying "this is false speculation and that PlayStation 3 software will not be copy protected to a single machine but will be playable on any PlayStation 3 console."
We posted this news story due to re-speculation of the patent and rumours of Sony licensing games.
We have contacted Sony for Regarding both rumours / speculation, and it seems (as most thought) that they are both 100% false. Concrete confirmation should be posted soon.
|
|
|
| GameRadar is a 3rd class website that is only trying to gain popularity by confusing people into thinking Sony is that stupid. Why is everyone getting so desperate? Any rumours and accusations like this involving a giant corporation like Sony should be properly investaged by the media before represented like this, at least to avoid further self-embarassment.

| I.T vibes job is to post unbiased news and we post it as and when we find it.
Sometimes the sources turn out to be less reliable than expected.
We spoke with Jennie Kong the UK PR Manager for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today and she did indeed confirm that the rumours were false.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.
