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'm sure as the PS4 is revealed, they're adding stuff to the 720 lmao


Probably, that's the only bad thing about revealing first.


Yea.


Sony should have gone after MS. Would have been a smarter decision.


I agree.
