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

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.

 

 

You are reaching and reading stuff not there.  First Netflix runs different to games on PSN.  Secondly it does not state anywhere publishers can use their own DRM, those third party terms and conditions are not to do with the PS Store side of things, that is SONYs business.  They are for what is in the content, like a third party may want to drop online multiplayer support for a game after a set time.

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.
