@Kyliedog: Can you give more explanation about it, never heard about DRM options on PSN before.

Uhm, Kyliedog... that 5 consoles-thing is considered a HUGE plus by most people using PSN...


I can understand some games using option two though. I doubt Sony wants games like Warhawk and GT to be shared like crazy.

Option three is unacceptable though, unless the prices is like 1/5th or 1/10th of the usual price of a game.

like i said before 3RD party's can have their own DRM!

example:

Your access to third party content and services may be subject to third party terms and conditions which you should read and understand before you access those services and any complaints about those services should be made to the third party provider. All content and services purchased through the PlayStation®Store, including in-game stores which are part of the PlayStation®Store, are sold to you by us, including where you access the PlayStation®Store via a third party game or website.

3rd party can have their own DRM.

a good example of this is netflix they have their own DRM.

I was actually wondering when these kind of DRMs will get on consoles. On PC you can override such things, but on consoles you are forced to use it no matter what you actually think or want. I think next thing that is forced motion controls. "Use it or don't play." , that should be motto for consoles. :)

So what? Are you actually defending this?

Just wondering: Did you make a thread about DRM on Ubisoft PC-titles as well?

People don't care. Eventually, every game will require you to be online for their offline mode.
And then you suddenly lost internet for a week or so. You'll not be able to enjoy any of the games you paid for.

There are a lot of reasons you can lose internet.
Say, you lost your job and either pay for internet or starve.
Naturally, you'll op to lose the internet than starve to death.
You certainly can't afford entertainment such as going out to a theater or buy new games.
Then you found that all the games you've paid for previously are no longer accessible because you can't go online.
The time when you most need entertainment for distraction and it fail on you would be pretty devastating.

How am I:

you do know 3rd party's can run their own server's for game's!

first of all every Net flix DVD has it's own encryption right on the disc.

here is a question: does Sony publish every PS3 game on the PS3?

that answer is no!

your trying to say every 3RD party has to use Sony's DRM or else, which is not true at all.

Sony offer's the developer's DRM to use, but as long as the 3rd party's DRM is compliant it can be used.

if that was the case Netflix would have to use Sony DRM just like any other  game! in order to run.

I understand what you're trying to say, but if someone is actually starving, I doubt he'll be thinking about why he can't play his games :p

A PSN game that requires you to be online? GT5:P forced me to do this as well? About 2 years ago.
