-Blocking Used games when the competition isn't.

Sony have been quite vague about the used games thing. Chances are they are both building in the capability to block them, but won't pull the trigger until the competition confirms.

As for too bad to be true, I doubt it. If they provide a better service (or spin things to make it look like they are) then they can get people to buy it anyway. I mean just look at Xbox Live. I just think they got unlucky with how it was revealed.

Sony has already stated they are not

Sony has the tech, as we all know from the patent leaks, and it is seemingly the best way of doing it too where it wouldn't requre you to always be online. Yet I think this is a safety net, if things get too bad Sony will give Developers the option (as Sony would never want to be the blaming party themselves).

If the 720 blocks used games, and Sony gives developers the option, surely most will block on both. Also that article is mostly reassuring people that they can play their games on someone elses console, which gives the impression that games will be tied to accounts. I'm sure it would be easy for them to charge to transfer games.
