They already confirmed the PS4 can play used games http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/21/sony-ps4-can-play-used-games/

From what has been understood developers/publishers have the choice whether to block them or not.  However Sony has not talked much about it yet.  

Don't developers have that option this gen as well though? Why is this such a big deal going into next-gen? No one is stupid enough to block second-hand sales. Worst case scenario is we get more games with online passes with an increase in the price of them.....
