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

Give me a link that shows an official Sony response stating that PS4 wouldn't implement some sort of DRM? I certainly don't see any. 

Well sony confirmed no internet connection required and gamestop confirmed used games can be traded... How the hell would they possibly enforce it?

I believe what was stated that PS4 doesn't require a constant internet connection. Contant internet connection and no internet connection is a pretty big difference. 

Wrong: "PS4 games will be playable without an Internet connection."

EDIT:

Eurogamer: Does the console always need to be connected to the internet?

Shuhei Yoshida: You can play offline, but you may want to keep it connected. The system has the low-power mode - I don't know the official term - that the main system is shut down but the subsystem is awake. Downloading or updating or you can wake it up using either the tablet, smartphone or PS Vita.

Eurogamer: Are all of those things optional? For people who have broadband data limits, for example? They can customise everything?

Shuhei Yoshida: Oh yes, yes, you can go offline totally. Social is big for us, but we understand there are some people who are anti-social! So if you don't want to connect to anyone else, you can do that.

Eurogamer: One of the questions my readers really want an answer to is whether you're going to block the use of second-hand or 'used' games, because it's a huge concern for them.

Shuhei Yoshida: Do you want us to do that?

Eurogamer: No. I think if you buy something on a disc you have a kind of moral contract with the person you've bought it from that you retain some of that value and you can pass it on. Do you agree?

Shuhei Yoshida: Yes. That's the general expectation by consumers. They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation.

Eurogamer: So if someone buys a PlayStation 4 game, you're not going to stop them reselling it?

Shuhei Yoshida Aaaah. [Asks PR adviser.] So what was our official answer to our internal question? [Consults adviser.] So, used games can play on PS4
