(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rumour has it that Sony is to use serial keys for future PS3 titles. (Restricting the number of times you're 'permitted' to use a PS3 game disc on various consoles) this is also likely to lead to a major backlash!!! The PC community is no friend to limited activation DRM. It brings up the argument "do you really own your games?"

Whats your opinions?
