Given Sony's tendencies, i was always surprised that they did this in the first place, and surprised that they still allow it at all

Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless


care to explain?

Come on. They sued a jailbreaker into the dirt out of fear of piracy, why would they allow people to share software?

about freakin time Sony!

The removal of dead systems thing is a blessing....until I remember that I'd only be able to use two systems, anyway. That 1 system out of 5 that is dead means nothing, now.

oooooh, we'll be able to deactivate dead systems! That's worth the reduction to 2 shares personally.

Yeah, being able to do it on your PC without having to try and get a quick fix working for the dead PS3 is awesome.

I'm a good little consumer, never shared my games. I paid for every last one of them. I was worried, however, because I've put my 3000 dollars worth of Rock band DLC on both of my own PS3's, and one friend's (for when I frequently visited him to have Rock Band parties). I Was worried that, if I got another PS3, i'd be that much closer. future releases will allow me to keep them on one PS3 at all times, and have one auxiliary, which I Can turn on or off at will.

Awesome.

But again, I don't game share, they've got thousands of dollars off me, so nyan.


3000 dollars worth of RB3 DLC? thats like 1500 songs! I'm jealous I only have like 80 dlc songs+rb1+rb2. RB3 online isusually dead compared to RB2 so if you ever want to paly online with me you should add me I play often with some friends. [psn: skeezer-92]

 

But yeah, at least we will now be able to recover lost systems, I've lost 2 PS3s to problems and called sony to deactivate them and they said they would but I'm not so sure that they did.

yeah, I think my final count on all exports, discs, and downloads is something like 1350 or something...that 3000 number includes the price of the discs and hardware.  I have Rock Band 1, 2, 3, ACDC, Beatles, Lego, and Greeen Day.   I also have two full sets of instruments, an extra guitar (for keys), and a cymbal set. 

I really wish the genre didn't dive headfirst into a shitpile in popular culture.  rocking out to fake plastic instruments is as fun as it ever was, I just don't have a lot of people to play with, making it...less fun.  There was a time when I had 'all DLC", and that lasted up to somewhere right before Beatles Rock Band came out...ever since Rock Band 3 came out, I've got maybe 50 songs?  I've had to severely cut back.  it sucks.

Holy damn, 1350 songs @___@, That's HUGEEE, I have like 80 DLC songs, RB1, 2, 3 and just 1 guitar for myself. I usually play with some friends I've made through RB2. If I had some money I would definitely buy a lot more DLC, I can't say I would want it all since I hate some of those bands xD. Like I said if you ever wanna play online add my PSN, I'm not bad but I'm not crazy good either, example: 99% at panic attack but 80% through the fire an flames ~~~~ But I like to have fun online!

Don't forget the time they sued someone who hacked their robotic dog to teach it new tricks, which like increased their sales X10.

I guess some companies will go to great lengths to protect their hardware.
