Forums - Sony - Sony Confirms PS4 Will Play Used Games!!

Did it confirm that there is no premium cost to play a used game much like the EA online passes?

Was there a link to the original source?

This is good news indeed if completely true, but I'm kind of uneasy of the language that they "can" play used games.


I think your reading into this too much, lets just keep its down to the developer, EA willl probably continue to charge for an online pass, where as others might not, its them not sony

which can only pave way for success.

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

"Aaaah," was Yoshida's initial answer, but seemingly only because he'd forgotten his line. "So what was our official answer to our internal question?" he asked his Japanese PR advisor. The advisor stepped in but didn't seem to answer clearly, at least to my ears. Yoshida then took control again firmly:

"So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?"

 

This is from the Eurogamer interview, this sounds more like they might be considering charging a small fee to play used games.

 

But it could be a language barrier as well, we will have to wait until Sony confirms at E3 hopefully.



Why is it such a big deal?

If they charge a fee to play used games it could be a huge deal.

If Microsoft don't allow used games (which I think will not happen) This will look great for sony.

If both MS and Sony charge fees for used games, this will look even better for Nintendo.

Well Sony just said they won't.

Where did they say they won't charge fees for used games?



This should come as a surprise to no-one, the fact people are celebrating something which we'd taken for granted since gaming began is quite worrying.

Still good to hear that nothing has changed on the pre-owned front, though.
