Ps4 can't handle used games like it sounds like that MS will handle it. I suggest you just cross that outta the OP right now. Ps4 will not require online so how do you expect people without online to register their game to their account? |
One of Sony's patent's that they were awarded was for a disc scheme that included a writable section of disc. Instead of or inaddition to the embedded chip.
The way the scheme works is that on a layer of disc would be a writable section, allowing the disc to write user information, such as an account and machine ID. Thus, locking a disc specifically to a user and a machine. You don't need an always online connection. You don't need to phone home. The user wouldn't know the difference until they bought a disc installed it to their PS4, and then attempted to install it on someone else's console.

I remember that old patent that isn't the first of its kind that has never been used.... which the Gamestops claims pretty much dismiss
