Wii games have forced firmare updates on the discs. There no reason the PS3 can't.


how is microsoft smelling like roses in this situation. They are supposed to be the "evil one"...

All they do if you screw around with your 360 is ban you off xbox live, and you really have to be an idiot to get banned..like play MW2 a month early or Jtag your console.

Well IMO Microsoft is the evil one, they have never had a serious attempt at stopping hacking on the xbox.

So it kinda makes people think its alright to hack a console, then complain when they lose features.

I think the dumb and greedy move is very dumb and greedy.

Shame on you, Sony.

It blocks illegal controllers and the ability to load anything not Sony from USB drives. You can still use USB drives but you can't load any dongles.

While its understandable for sony to do this(piracy)...by doing that, it also blocks this, which is a shame.

These guys will have PS2 emulator ready for the PS3 before sony does.

Lol, can't wait for the next excursion into taking things away.  Wonder what they will yank next?   

 

While I do agree Pirates are to blame, Sony shouldn't punish everyone for the misdeeds of a few.  Sony is quickly becoming the big bad and taking that position away from Microsoft.  Yay SONY!!

all sony games have always had a minimum requirementl firmware to play, chances are the reason you never noticed was because you was always above the required update. I assure you it's there because I've had to update 2wice on my psp because I was below the requirement.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?
