Does anyone think this is NOT a steaming pile of horse shit?

Sony going back to their "fear" tactic by trying to end the sale of secondhand games. I'm sure it won't happen because people would just stop purchasing their products and exclusive games. I thought Sony would have wised up after their last fear tactic... the lawsuit against Geohot.

Not just Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo will also do this.

Bye PS3, hello PC gaming.

The lot of them are a bunch of bastards if they go through with this

they are not that stupid

It might suck, but we all knew this is where things were headed. As games become increasingly intertwined in the sprawl of social networking, online accounts, and online passes, it is becoming increasingly difficult for secondhand games to be feasible options. Obviously there are ways that secondhand games can accommodate all of those issues, but it requires effort that a lot of people really don't want to take anymore.

I agree that it sucks, but I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the standard in the next decade. We'll all have to start paying more attention to online reviews (check out NGU reviews!) to determine whether or not a game is worth the money rather than renting it or buying it at a heavily discounted price.

They are going to lose a lot of money. Theres a reason why gamestop has a 10 Percent off Card for used game. So sony wont be able to do this without Pissing off some companies

good job bro

Honestly, I've always liked Sony, but things like this really get me ticked off. They basically don't want to give Playstation users any freedom with their games or consoles. I'd also like to add that places like Gamestop and EBGames are going to most likely go under since they would no longer be able to sell used games. It's sad to see this from Sony, but we should have expected something like this to happen. I wish I could find the picture of where it shows Sony making games have registration IDs, that doesn't work and then they send sales reps with each game which fails as well, and then they make it so it's registered to your blood. Expect these next.
