PS4 will play used games, no doubt about it. I wish this stupid rumor would die already. It's nothing more than haters trying to hold on to every last straw of hate. The man already said it would play used games.

That never was a rumor on PS4 side... not that I have read... now in the Nextbox side everyday a new developer "confirm" that rumor.

I've seen 2 or 3 on the PS4 side as well. Sony patenting the tech for starters. Then their most recent comments about it were that they were undecided. So really, it is still up in the air on whether or not PS4 will allow used games or not.

I'm guessing the most likely scenario is that both the PS4 and the NextBox will have the ability to block used games, but they will leave that functionality choice up to the developers/publishers. So let's say EA wants to use the "no used game tech", that's their choice and then some or all EA games would have this. But then NaughtyDog or 343 Industries or whoever else could just as easily choose not to use the tech.

Or maybe the tech will be used alongside the "online pass" crap so that used games can still work, but they will all require some extra charge to unlock.
