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."

beddx Stupid move Sony!!!! Just block Pre-owned games!!!


It's an excellent move, seeing as the 720 won't. So far.


Seeing how the 720 won't? Did Microsoft confirm that they were blocking pre owned games? Or are you just being the gullible teenager that you are and believing in every rumor you read?


Woah dude no need to start hating. Maybe it's true, you never know.


Hating? Lol I'm done, you win.

The-Only Why not for the xbox 720 to :/


I think that if Microsoft confirms that pre-owned games won't work, then it would be a stupid move on their end.
