It should be a bannable offense to group Sony into this.

Your joking?

You believe Sony will simply look at Activision, EA, and Ubisoft and tell them no? Sony filed the watermark patenr for a reason and its obvious. In fact Sony themselves have admitted it.  They said pre owned will be up tp the publisher. Same as MS. They also said PS4 wont require online.

Its obvious publishers will have the option of utilizing the watermarked discs and that most will indeed use them

Companies file patents all the time. Most of them are never used. Sony said the pantent doesn't concern the Ps4... Sorry bub

So you believe Sony who has an online pass for all current 1st party games, already tried cutting out pre owned market and physical media with the PSP Go, has already admitted DRM is on the console if publishers want it, and who filed a trademark to be able to completly block used games even without an internet connection is going to have DRM free console.

That is an interesting opinion.
