Well I hope thats true, but why be so vague and cryptic to a simple question about used games?

 

Seems weird to get PR involved with such a basic question.

 

Hopefully the patent was something Sony just considered then decided to do away with, it just seems strange to be so dodgy on the question combined with the fact that they even have that technology.

Shuhei is the worldwide president of Sony not a pr guy. I guess they are saving all the nitty gritty details for e3. 

"Aaaah," was Yoshida's initial answer, but seemingly only because he'd forgotten his line. "So what was our official answer to our internal question?" he asked his Japanese PR advisor. The advisor stepped in but didn't seem to answer clearly, at least to my ears. 

 

This is what I was referring to as far as PR goes.

 

We will have to wait until E3, but with all the issues this gen about used games, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the compromise with 3rd party publishers.

 

If it was from Yoshida himself about the patent, instead of an unnamed source, probably wouldn't bother me, but at E3 we will know for sure.
