Trying to think of a Sony game I would spend money on, and all I'm coming up with is the single-player Last Guardian.
But yeah, this spreading precedent is stupid.

Links from gamespot don't work on BBs. Can someone sum up the article?
Sony is adopting project $10.
Another effort to neutralize used sales.
Titles that are part of the program will come bundled with a single-use code that grants users "full online access for that title." According to Sony, this move "allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio."
The online passes bundled with new copies of EA Sports titles, as well as Homefront, Mortal Kombat, and others are seen as an effort to make buying games new more attractive than buying them used (a sale that puts no money in the publisher's pocket). Typically, secondhand users must pay a nominal fee ($10) to access all the features new purchasers receive with online pass-enabled games. However, Sony did not say what it plans to charge secondhand gamers for its online program.
Looooooooooooooooool
Fuck you, Sony.
I guess they liked what they saw from Microsoft with Gears of War 2 in 2009. Although they haven't figured out how to charge $60 for peer-to-peer and then more on top of that for one time use codes.
Why is Sony killing off HD output through component?
To stop people from using their old $20 PS2 component cables, thereby nudging the dumb ones who don't know about monoprice into purchasing Sony's proprietary HDMI cable?
That'd be my guess.
Probably to kill the analogue loophole. component doesn't have to meet HDCP compliance, and can therefore be hooked up to all sorts of wonderful capture devices like the Hauppauge Collossus. I have yet to see anything that capture 1080p, just 1080i, so I don't understand either.
