They can use the $$$$ to pay for the Bluray player and discs :)

Yeah, I doubt that. Sony is probably quite fine with that DRM so long as it doesn't alientate the consumer and drive them to other platforms. They saw the writing on the wall and made a business decision that it would be more profitable for them, and sell them more consoles, if they didn't have it. I'd beowning a Wii U, or nothing from the new gen right now if Sony and MS both adopted the MS DRM plan. So Sony's decision was good for at least one PS4 sale.

Also, if the speculation is Sony is already using it in PS3, PSV and PS4 doesn't that make "Sony looking to include..." somewhat mischevious and misleading?

If Playready is a standards essential piece of software then MS probably isn't making too much from it.

If there's one thing that scares Sony and Microsoft, it's piracy. They'll happily do business together.

It has nothing to do with physical copies of games if you read well. Just a click bait.

Great news, thanks to Sony's legendary clumsiness in these things, another DRM will be cracked.

Told you so.

Then Sony can use some of the $$$ from that to pay ms for each android phone they sell. 

It still wouldn't be enough. 

Told us what? That you're one of many that we knew would completely misinterpret what this is, which is clearly the authors objective.

I was going to answer something like this.

There's always been DRM even on the Ps3. This is pertaining to media files such as movies, music and such. Not so much on video games.
