Well if this does wind up being true, I don't see myself buying a PS3 anymore :|, just my opinion but I like to have the option to sell games on or lend them to friends. So if you are purchasing a copy of the game from someone, and it happens to have all 5 uses used up on it, the game now becomes a useless lump of a disk? By the way what about the older games that have been released before, Uncharted 2, KZ2 etc..

Older games will be unaffected. And its a rumour, besides, you still have 5 uses this way, and you can just use a common PSN between your friends and activate the game on that. The power of the freeeeeeedom.

I am sure you will be able to play this game on any PSN account as long as you have the common account on your PS3. People use this method to play PSN games for cheaper and downloading DLCs for cheaper by dividing the costs.

I do hope that's a rumour, otherwise I'd be pretty bummered. But using that exploit is just not in in my best books imho, I pay for my shizz and I expect to have the freedom to be able to sell it on, after all it's not a digital download, you have to admit if this does come to pass, this might possibly be one of the worst decisions Sony had made this gen.

And besides, I preffer to purchase used games, unless I really want to support an independent developer or the game looks amazing and is a guaranteed first day/week purchase, in fact most of my library was used games, except for the GOTY/Limited editions, and I'd still like to have the same option on PS3, but with no way to track how many times that code has been used, the used market on PS3 might as well be dead - again, if this is indeed what is going to happen and not just an empty rumour.
