Sony files patent for new tech to stop second hand games

[Osc89]

Not going to happen, suicidal move. What this actually means is:

1. Digital copy
2. Gaikai copy

Put the disc in, you now have the download version for your hard drive and the Gaikai version for tablets etc. all connected to your account. Sell the game, the new person registers using the disc and you lose the digital/Gaikai copy. This is far more likely, in my opinion.

The patent basically seems to be the check for whether it is registered to you or not. It doesn't seem to say what it then does with that information (eg. then prompts you to register)

(Disclamer, I'm no patent expert so may be completely off)
