This shouldn't even be an issue at all for new buyers if they keep games and if you trade games in you're doing it wrong anyway, that is far from the best use of money. |
Actually I rarely ever sell my games but I also like the option to do it. Something like this would make me not purchase any Multiplat games on the PS3 thus deneying Sony my money. If I want to purchase a used game, I do not want to have to worry about this crap when I do or if I can give it away to my friend or sell it to someone else.
The problem with this plan if Sony would actually implement it is that it would not stop Piracy and it probably would not stop pirates going online. With custom firmware, PSN can be bypass or circumvented. If dedicated servers are used, they would also need to be doing the serial check and they would also need to keep track of how many unique PS3s are using the serial.
The only thing this DRM would do is make it a pain for legit customers and give the Pirates ways to circumvent this very easily. It would be no different from the PC and it will not stop pirated games from going online.
