So nothing change, except the ability to play on what ever system you want but you need to be signed into the PSN.



Much better than how it is on the PS3.

On the PS3 you don't even have to be signed in. Or is this sarcasm. If it is, don't mind me. I'm sleepy.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

I'm getting confused now xD

What did he clarify? This is the same info from the other thread. The wife can play the content on the "home console", you can play on another console but must be signed into your account and online.

So its a better policy if you have multiple other consoles you would be using (since PS3 is limited to 2 now) and a worse policy than PS3 if you and a buddy/family member just share games, because now one of you will always need to be signed in to the others account in order use the content.

No my bad.

J_Allard describes the pros and conns quite good about this (post above mine). It is partly better than the PS3 way of doing it but at the same time it has a downside.

With PS3 though you could only ever download the game twice as far as i know.

Wait really? I thought it's whichever PS3 systems you had activated on your account that get access to the games.



The website did a half ass job on reporting.  As I posted in the other thread, this looks to be a per game thing like Bionic Command Rearmed and Final Fight Double Impact which you were required to be online to play them.  The part they quoted seems like it's per game, the other part is on every PS3 game as well.

Here's the Final Fight Double Impact DRM.  Although this one is more severe as you're required to also be online to play it.

What happens if you get a new PS3? The game can only be downloaded twice..(maybe across PS3's?)

Im not really sure about all this.
