They don't have to issue new pc hardware to keep trying new drm on pc...

Thanks to the hackers we'll be moving 1 stap closer to always on drm for console games.

Or you won't be able to start the game until you register and get a key generated based on your console ID. Call a phone line, enter the key that came with the game, enter your ps3 ID and receive a key to unlock the game for your ps3. Great way to block the 2nd hand market as well :/ Hackers will find a way around that, but will have to do it for each new game.

ps3 already has drm and so do all other systems

just that they are cracked

 

drm is only a problem on PC which is an open platform

 

consoles are closed platforms,drm is always there

Yes, but not all titles require you to be online to play them, yet... the download version of GT5p had some nasty drm already. I used to have 2 ps3s, trying to play it on the other one using the exact same account it informed me that this title had already been played on another system in the last 24 hours and dropped me back to the xmb.

Piracy will be the excuse to kill the 2nd hand market as well. Games only running tied to your account and/or 1 registered ps3. Digital download is the future :(
