@ underlined- to bad those unlimted people who downloaded it cant actually PLAY the game. epic FAIL. the number of players who actually can play it are restricted. @italic - welcome to PS4, where you can let your friends stream your game, join in with you, or just watch. or... or... you can just give them the game!! oh boy i do love having choices!! see, choices are fun!!. PS4 will do the digital downloads in the "me too" kind of way? care to actually speak wih some logic? at the rest of the paragraph. just because you CANT understand how somebody else is doing something that microsoft can doesnt mean its impossible. care to explain to me how sony managed to create a console that can do more than the xbox one, is more powerfull and cheaper at the same time? |
1. PS3 doesn't say hi. Ps3 game sharing is inconvinient at best and can be done on 2 consoles at a time. I'm not even sure if its technically legal. You are given the right to install the game twice but most likely the fineprint says it needs to be someone living in your household or something similar. Tying digital downloads to hardware is seriously ancient and if they are not doing internet checks, it looks like this will continue for PS4.

"Of course, the PlayStation 3 doesn't allow the sale or trade of downloaded titles. When asked if Sony's leniency will be extend to the digital realm, Rohde replied, "We're not talking about any sort of digital trading or loaning policies right now. To us, that [physical media] part of it was just so clear. The digital part of DRM will be debated and evolved forever. It really will."
2. I am not talking about unlimited digital installs for the sake of game shraing. I am talking about having your games follow you around on many consoles. We've reached the X86 era of gaming with digital ecosystems...I see us downloading these games on different hardware throughout many generations to come. Sony and Microsoft can't afford to reboot their consoles in 7 years. Apple and Android will murder them if they do... They will most likley murder then regardless actually.
