"Now, this could mean two things. One, that publishers are obviously free to step up their existing online pass strategies to block more – or possibly all – game content from those who buy a pre-owned game without a code.

The second option is that Sony HAS incorporated tech into the PS4 that allows publishers to distinguish between new and pre-owned games. It’s then up to them if they choose to utilise it."

That's a pretty scary idea.

Allard said above that they already had that in the PS3.

Well hopefully nothing comes of it, like on the ps3.
