this better be a dirty dirty fucking lie cause when I finally buy a PS3 once it hits the 200 - 300 dollar range I plan on buying lots of used games

It almost seems like Sony is intentionally trying to lose the next-gen console war.

Yeah, but what do you do if the PS3 craps out (Playstations have a rep for doing that, ya know) and you have to buy another one? Re-purchase every game you own as well?

So then if this was true people wouldnt be able to take their games to a friends house to play would they?

Both QFT. That said, the first-console lock thing has to be a load of bunk. They could enforce it by putting a writable section on the disc or requiring internet connection- but that's a good way to piss off everyone: gamers and retailers. I think if Sony actually followed through on this, we'd be seeing EBGames & GameStop dropping PS3 and putting out more Xbox 360 and Wii stuff to fill the empty shelf space.

What if you want the game at a later time but NO, the fucker is out of print? You'll be looking for a used one. EBGames and eBay couldn't help you there. Sometimes when I go to buy a used game or two, I'll buy a new title if it's one that interests me. Retailers love that.

I'm not going to buy a PS3 until after Christmas, thanks largely to the $600 price. So, I won't be putting any PS3 games on my holiday wish list. Nice job Sony.

Nintendo fell from the top spot once, and so can SCE. I don't honestly think SCE will do something so stupid, but who's to know?

If you tell people they can do something they'll just go out and do it anyway. This will probably give rise to some kind of PS3 used game black market.

Piracy 4 life!

What about the games that get limited releases or are older? Many games you can't find new a year after they're released. They'd also have to attempt regulating online sales...

[SamuraiMoogle]

Theres no way this is true. Sony cant be that damn dumb. You wouldnt even be able to rent a game. Only retards and their retard children would buy a PS3 if this is true. No way this is true, every other website in the world would be reporting this.

MGS4 says hello.

The likely eventual port of a 360 verison says hello back.
