This would be a huge mistake for sony, I already hate the network pass thing they have going on -_-

To be honest, I rather then do the network pass thing forever. If you don't want to play multi-player then don't pay for it, its only fair.

And NintendoPie said this wouldn't hurt GameStop...

Why is everyone moaning about this? Not like it's a problem to start with. PS fans has no friends to share/loan the games anyways.

i dont think sony will fully take away the used game market. I see a scenario where Sony will restrict the buyers of trading their game back in within 3 months of purchase or something like that. That way the first 3 months of games sales will be new only and mean more money?

I only pay for things I think is worth the price.  If I feel like paying "full" price for a game when first released like a limited edition, I will.  Otherwise, I normally wait for a price drop, or I wait for a GOTY edition to get the dlc.  And I normally do leave the used gaming market alone since I hardly buy used games.  And I never said developers drive the gaming industry.  I said my (and others) support of developers is driving the gaming industry by giving them my financial support so they can continue making games.  Please do not twist my points around and put words into my mouth just because I make valid points that cannot be legitimately argued.

I think this is coincedental but humorous in a twisted sort of way.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

Sony is not dumb enough to do this.
