PlayStation 4 will not block pre-owned games - Sony exec confirms.

4.6
The PlayStation 4 will not feature technologies that make pre-owned games unplayable on the newly-announced console, according to a senior executive at PlayStation.

After a long period of speculation regarding the PlayStation corp's stance on pre-owned games, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told sources that used games can function on the next generation system.

But he did not confirm whether PlayStation 4 customers would have 'original owner rights' to second hand games, or whether users might need to pay for online passes or other such rights.

"The general expectation by consumers is, if they purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation."

I think that it fair to charge people for online passes if they are playing off a pre owned game

Compliance I wish Microsoft would follow this.


They might change their minds, I don't think it's set it concrete.


Let's hope that they won't do this.
