Ideally, of course, Sony have already picked up on what happened with Microsoft’s multiple level PR disaster last week and they’ve scrapped the idea, but there’s still the chance that certain publishers could still have their way.


The campaign revolves around two main hashtags – #PS4NoDRM and #PS4USEDGAMES – which slightly dilutes the objective but should hopefully get people to notice that (we assume) the end users aren’t really into not being able to freely trade, share and sell their unwanted games.


There’s no specific Tweet you can copy and paste – the idea is that you’ll form your own thoughts on this and that’ll make it harder for those in charge to simply ignore. If you have an opinion on this, you have a voice, and we reckon Sony need to hear it.

I think it's a rubbish idea, Sony should definitely think against this. It's a hard one though, because microsoft are doing it... it's not like they will lose customers to their rivals over it. So I suppose it comes down to whatever they feel will be gained from it.

Voicing your opinion should always be done, hopefully they'll listen to the community and weigh up their options fairly.

even if they did do it, if the used price was under half or at a reasonable price based on the games age etc then i cant see many people complaining about it, that way you could just trade games with people rather than buying them preowned then purchasing a pass

That's it mate, as long as we're not out of pocket or anything then it's not too bad.

Digital rights management, it's a move against piracy

Tweeted! I believe Sony wouldn't do this in the first place but hopefully they'll see how strongly people are against it on Twitter and after the backlash of Xbox fans when they found out the Xbox One will be turning used games into full-price copies!

i seen this last night over on their site so i tweeted it out yesterday. i figured why not, it cant hurt to let my voice be heard and counted.
whats the worst they can do, ignore it and do whatever they are planning to do anyway?
i did these hashtags: #PS4NoDRM #ps4nodrm #PS4USEDGAMES, and sent to all that were listed.

sony will probly stick to being able to use pre owned games as a lure point to customers, as they are not as money hungry as microsoft, hell even ea droped the online pass ideal so we can hope sony will be the good guy this time around.
