E3 2013: PS4 Supports Used Games, Don't Require Online Connection

4.6
A smiling Jack Tretton revealed that the PlayStation 4 will have no restrictions on used games and will not require an always-on internet connection for single-player games.

"Yes, that's a good thing," he said to a cheering crowd.

Sony also announced that trading, lending and selling of games will be permitted, and purchasing a game means that it is owned by the consumer forever.

the system won't require any sort of online authentication for disc-based games.

It's all personal preference when it comes to consoles. No matter what your argument is, if they are an xbox fan, they will defend xbox. If they are a playstation fan, they will defend playstation. So no need to argue.

You're absolutely retarded. You just compared the monthly price of PSN+ to the yearly subscription to XBL. Currently it's 10$ (maybe 5$ since i last looked) to get one month subscription to either console. Yes PSN has it's deals to that make it more affordable for longer term periods just like XBL. Know your facts child.

As for the "Hey you guys gotta pay for online multiplayer now you mad?", multiplayer is still free but some features aren't available. Not quite sure what they ment by a more immersion able multiplayer with PSN+


In the Second video on this news post, when the two gentlemen hand each other the game, you can see at the bottom of the screen: "PS4 multi-player online access requires PSN account & PS Plus subscription." You do need PS Plus to play multiplayer on the new PlayStation Network.

I pay for world of warcraft so I'll pay for psn.

So you pay 10 dollars a month for WoW, a single game, but not for Xbox Gold which gives you the ability to play all games online? What type of faulty logic are you using


actually it is free only the ps+ cost money


Actually it says multiplayer functionality requires a PSN account and playstation plus. Even says it in the small text below the screen in the video above. I'm still all for getting a PS4 though.
