Malstrom: Why can't we LEND our WiiWare games?

can players lend out their PSN/XBLA games?

No. Malstrom talks more about the Wii though, so that's why you see him singling them out there. I am a bit suprised he didn't try to get in a few more digs on the HD consoles though. He's usually so excited to do so.

How exactly would a lending system work anyways? Are we talking something along the lines of DS's download play here? Maybe a game can be lent when both parties are online only to keep from trading them around like used copies.

 

the PS3 can share a game up to 5 times before it becomes inactive for the main user.

 

Really? How exactly does that work? I've got 3 PSN games that I wouldn't mind trading to somebody for three of theirs.
