(quoted from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ) "Sony has apparently filed a patent for an electronic

content processing system that is able to detect previously played discs and can prevent

them from being used again. Gamerant, citing patent papers, gives more details about the technology:

When the game is to be played, the reproduction device conveys the disc ID and a player
ID to the use permission tag. The use permission tag stores the terms of use of the game and determines whether a combination of the disc ID and the player ID conveyed from the reproduction device fulfills the terms of use or not.


so What do you guys think? and will you be purchasing a next gen playstation or not due to this factor?

If PlayStation truly does this they will lose so many people. Nobody wants to pay for a brand new game when a pre owned is about $15 less

This is so false... it is kind of like the whole myth that PS3 games would be at $100 per game cause "BLU Ray" was going to be so expensive. Not to mention fair use determines that you can reuse software unless it causes "a continued expense to a business." which I do not see how used games (except for online play.) will cause that "continued expense."

Even if it did happen wouldn't that mean games would end up being cheaper?

I don't think this is true, it would imply that after you played a game, you couldn't play it again? Lmfao
