Will you be upset when PS4 has very similar used games policies and the PS4 EyeToy device functions in very similar ways?
We already know the PS4 will have the same "instant on" cability which means it will be "always on". Seems only logicial that the Eyetoy would be able to respond to "Playstation On" or whatnot. It also seems highly likely that the Eyetoy will be included with every PS4 (if this hasn't been confirmed yet, I'm sure it will be by E3). So won't this Eyetoy also be watching you the entire time your PS4 is on? Sony has never made any statements towards whether the PS4 would work without the Eyetoy.
Should we all jump to conclusions and say the PS4/Sony will be stalking us and blocking used games since they have not been clear on any of it so far?!?!?!?!

The ps4 will get the same reaction if it's going to pull the same crap.
However we should not jump too conclusions, nothing has been confirmed yet unlike with the xbox one.
Sony has a bigger incentive to make it possible to play without internet, since they sell a lot more in countries with poor internet.
So far the eye toy has been an extra, there are no plans to fully integrate it in the OS, no reason for it to required to be always on.
As far as used games, the statement of leaving it up to publishers is very worrying. However for now the rumors and suggestions point to the ps4 not requiring internet. That would exclude the draconion drm system of xbox one.
Anyway all eyes will be on Sony for this, if they pull the same crap I'll keep enjoying this gen for a couple years longer.

Nothing has been confirmed yet on Xbox One either. That was my point.
The only thing that has been confirmed on Xbox One is that you WILL be able to play used games and WILL be able to sell/trade/buy used. The stuff about requiring internet checks every 24 hours is not confirmed. Neither is the stuff about supposed "used games fees" which in reality seemed to be debunked pretty well as a huge misrepresentation by the media. What was said is that if someone loaned a game to a friend that friend would have to buy the game to play it, or use your Xbox Live account. That's entirely different from a "used game fee". That's simply saying, if you have the game on your system and want to buy it directly through the Xbox One/Microsoft, you are likely going to pay full price for it.
Even that stuff is not yet confirmed and could be changed very easily, so who knows.
