That would, quite literally, be illegal.

Sony is more consumer friendly? The same Sony that introduced the Rootkit? The same Sony that made their answer ambigious with respect to DRM and used game? The $599 blue-ray trojan horse Sony? Google the actual stories of DRM back in FEeb, they had mixed messages too, they got away with it because it was February and everyone understand that policy was still up in the air... Many indsutry veteran had already been speculation even back then the posibility of DRM for next gen.

I was a day one adopter of the PS3 and will get the PS4 over the Xbox this gen as well. I like the type of product (games) Sony gives and their policy IS alligned with consumer interest right now.

But as for trust in a big corporation? I reserve that for Valve, because THEY don't have to answer to shareholders, and fat Gabe is filled with love and processed cheese.

Sony never gave an ambiguous answer, no one was willing to listen since everyone was up in arms aboutn Microsoft. Microsoft scared the shit out of everyone. I dont trust corporations either, but Sony knows where they stand with consumers now since the PS3 incident. Sony has made their mistakes, but their mistakes dont mess with gamer ownership. Sony's screw up with the price of the PS3 was all Kutaragi's fault trying to put everything he could into the PS3 to make it a beast. It was but it caused Sony to bleed from the ears.

sony killed sega , he does not like sony xD

Sony made 1 statement about used game in Feb, it was from Shuhei.

"Yes. That's the general expectation by consumers.  They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation... So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?"

Used game can be played on PS4! This was very specfically worded after speaking with PR. They also stated that the PS4 is 'not always online' something that MS ALSO specfically stated during their conference only to backtrack on the same day with the  'lol 24hrs is not always online' bullshit.

So yes, Sony has never made their policy clear until E3, that's why when there was such a big cheer during their conference when they finally cleared up their policy.

But we're getting off the point which is very simple:

Never assume a corporation cares for you, treat them like Thai hookers: use and forget... and when they scream 'you so big' they're talking about your fcken wallet.

you should have seen that fat guy on youtube who axed his 360 once he heard the rumors of the DRM and always online. i wonder how the fuck he feels right now haha

LIke I said, E3 has already passed. Sony won that week. They got the most positive press and that's that. 
Microsoft reacted to Sony's PS4 policies.

PS4.

He had more than one interview actually, there was the initial one and then a follow up like a week later in February.

Would it? Because you're buying it with DRM. Microsoft is just letting you download a patch to turn it off for the time beeing. It wouldnt be anymore illegal than what you are buying day 1 with the box. Proceed at your own risk.

In fairness, I wont speak for countries other than my own.

In Australia, this would firmly fall under the theme of 'not performing as advertised' alongside 'functioning in a different manner to presented' and you would be entitled to a full refund.
