Sony also gives publishers the option to region lock their games on PSP/PSV/PS3. The result? Almost nobody region locks their games...

If one publisher decides to be greedy and charge a used game fee, you can just choose not to buy their games if it goes against your personal ideologies. This is not the hardware maker's fault in any way. They are just providing freedom to the publisher, giving them more incentive to release more games on the system. The online pass system works the same way.

The problem arises if a console forces publishers to do things like this. Then it is the hardware maker's fault.
