Sounds like he's hearing this from people he knows at Sony, so yeah, here's hoping. It is a good sign, but it could just mean that Sony is nixing the idea of its own centralized DRM scheme and will still allow publishers to block used games.

It seems unlikely to me that Xbone would do what it's doing and PS4 would be completely DRM free. Would be awesome if it wound up that way, though, so the industry could finally understand that blocking used games does not increase sales of new games.

And here we go. (again)

inb4 "I don't play used games it doesn't bother me." Sheep all of you.

Good guy Nintendo.

Taken from the Neogaf thread:

"I do want to warn that these decisions do flipflop (as evidenced by what i posted earlier this week vs now). I'm not 100% on this. The people I know aren't 100% on this. Some suit can come in and fuck the entire thing up. So I wouldn't go running around screaming "HAHA SONY ISN'T DOING IT!" I just wanted people to know that as of now Sony has flipped their position in response to the shitstorm microsoft got hit with."

Pfft! Ill be damned!

They better not uninstall ANY OF MY GOD DAMNED GAMES THAT I BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY!!

..The fuck do they think they are!?

See that's the sh!t that i'm talking about. These bitch ass companies are asking for too damn much. 

They were never going to do that online check thing so this guy must just be talking about some type of used game thing, right? If so, then Sony already said that it will be up to devs(EA mainly).

If true

Interesting. Sony is definitely in bad position, if 3rd parties are demanding this DRM stuff then Sony has no other option but to meet their demands, but at the same time they don't want to piss their customers. I think Sony is simple going to play the waiting game, and see how the Xbone develops.

I do wonder though. If Sony does indeed had plans to implement some sort of DRM on the PS4, wouldn't it be too late to back down? I mean the system is probably made to had this specifications and at this point in time in would be risky to just change it. They could do it of course, but I wonder if that's going to delay the console's launch by a lot.

I hate it when Sony copies again..
