Saw this on reddit. It's funny watching people on there try to twist this around and still try to make Sony look bad.

In a way it still is, 3rd parties are allowed to do this.

And we all know EA and Activision will.

That means to a degree, Sony are supporting the used games DRM, which makes Nintendo the only console manufacturer this gen not to restrict used games to any degree.

Honestly I'm a bit bummed that Sony "kinda" is going this route. And will still require you to go online for certain games. So it looks like I'll be getting a PS3 and sticking with it. This sealed the deal on my PS4 purchase in the future. 

I am reading this as you are boycotting PS4 due to this. If that is the case, please note that PS3 already has an online pass fee on multiplayer. That is on Sony first party and 3rd party games. So, if you are going to boycott PS4, then I would not recomend supporting PS3 either.

Problem being PS4's might be fully integratd on to the system hardware itself (by disk readers) while the online pass is a software issue.
