Since this is sony we are talking about that also try to fool everyone with stuff like "this footage is directly captured from a PS3 system" (which basically means this is running a bluray with prerendered footage) .... I guess that means they will highly recommend instead of require the DRM stuff and since they talk about initial establishment of the console this means they are going to add this within the first 2 years.

Third party is who pushes this crap and Sony lets the third party decide so its the same shit as with Xb1....

They also never said that used games wont be blocked with a future update!

I hate that companies say everything completely mysterious and are so vague. Say NOT WITH PS4 this is simple "3" words instead of some strange PR blahblah. What about being direct? You know like "attack its weak spot for massive damage" simple yet totally understandable!


Sony stated long ago after their reveal that they never thought of DRM at all, that was all Microsoft who demands the console be online at least once a day.

It would be very hard for me to believe Sony did not think about or talked about DRM when they are the only company with a patent on it.  It also would be hard for me to believe Sony did not have something in place when they were asked direct question on the subject we go no comment.  It's not like Sony was against having project 10 dollars within there own games.  It's not like Sony never put root kits on people pcs for CDs.

Any way is it me or is anyone asking the right question.  Stop asking if Sony is doing what MS is doing and ask is there a system on the console for DRM.  If there is a system for DRM how is it implemented and enforce.

People seem to be so wrapped up in how MS does its DRM but it seems no one is asking if Sony does something different.  


If they answered that a long time ago. I swear to god, its like if MS does something wrong Sony must follow suit....seriously no. Everyone expected Sony to make people pay for PSN just like Xbox Live Gold because gold was successful and Sony did the gamer centric thing by creating PSN Plus. I had no doubt Sony had no plans for DRM the way the Japanese deal with gaming, thats something only the American companies would have the balls to start. Low and behold I was correct and Sony confirmed that they never thought to put DRM in their system. Your question has been answered since february, you guys just refuse to believe it. Is it so hard to believe that Sony could be a more consistent gamercentric brand? 

My guestion has not been answered.  You show me one statement where Sony said they have no DRM in place on there console.  There is a big difference between someone asking Sony must the console always be online to, can or do your console make online checks.  Is there a system in place to do online checks.  Is a game registered with either you PSN account or to your console.  Can you actually find answered to any of those questions then then I would be surprised because Sony has not answered them.  When Sony was pressed along those lines they said no comment.

The easy way for Sony to kill everything is to say we do not include any DRM within our console.  It works exactly like the PS3.  Instead you get very general answers to very tightly scoped questions.
