So basically...they have Disc Based only game avialable at retail and you can do whatever you want with them...Disc based games have no DRM...Fine....It's disc based games...But then he skips the question about their digital tittles and if they have DRM...
Dang...

Sigh! You're trying hard but missing the mark every time.

I was interested to know whether they have the 2-3 activated consoles thing for digital purchases for PS4 and was disappointed they skipped the question (the interviewer should have gone back to it because it was him that moved the subject on. But really digital titles are inherently full DRM, so the opnly question is how much relaxation of DRM will be put in place. I'd like it if they allow 3 activated consoles like with PS3 (better would be 5 like originally, but 3 is OK), so I'm looking forward to finally hearing the official line on this.

What I really want to know about Gaikai is whether ytou have to re-buy the PS3 titles you already own in order to play via Gaikai. They should allow PS4 to recognise that an Uncharted 3 disc is in the machine and thus the game is fully accessible through Gaikai. And of course if your PSN account shows that you purchased Journey Gaikai will let you play Journey.

Gaikai will be a PSN+ service no doubt.

How much of a selling point is Twitch? I've never heard of it, and I'm not a fan of watching other people's game play videos (my son loves it though) so it's worthj nothing to me. I won't be touching that share button either.

Assuming PS4 works exactly the same as PS3, most downloadable game can be downloaded 5 times on seperate machines at least that's with every single game I've ever downloaded.

They dropped it to 3 (buyer's console and 2 others) under pressure from 3rd parties some people have said.
