lol I get it now. Well in PS3 you need to pay fee to play the MP on used games... the SP is free for all. Anyway what Sony said about used games... "Do you want us to do that?" |
I don't see how that is evidence that they are not going to charge a fee for used games, or allow 3rd parties to do it on their console ,especially since they filed the patent for it as well.
Eurogamer asked Shuhei Yoshida, head of Sony’s worldwide game development studios, if used games would function on PS4. At this, Eurogamer reports that he has to turn to the public relations specialist sitting in on the interview and ask what the official answer was. Following a brief consultation, he said, “Used games can play on PS4.”
They can? That’s a little different than “they will always, without an extra fee.” Nonetheless, many outlets reported this as closing the case for good. But then Game Informer wrote to Sony for a follow-up, and an unnamed spokesperson said this: “We are just now announcing the basic vision and strategy of PS4 and will have more information to share regarding used games later this year. But PlayStation has a long history of keeping its gamers happy and we won’t make decisions that damage our relationship with them.”
Also the eurogamer interview seems a little suspicious as well, why do you have to confer for an "official answer" on used games. As much as I don't want them to, I think Sony is implementing the same thing, and until they give us an "official answer" that states that used games will not require an additional fee, that seems to be the course. The fact that Xboxone has this makes it even more likely that Sony will follow suit to please 3rd parties.
