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.

Hey you guys gotta pay for online multiplayer now you mad? Haha the guy just said in the E3. Now you have to have Plus for online multiplayer.


And? Who gives a ****. Sony just **** on you so many **** times. This is Sony's year.


its $5 ... its alot better than paying 30 - 40 for LIVE

5$ a month for ps4.
60$ a year for xbox.
there are 12 months in a year.
you're welcome for the free math lesson chap :D


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+

"PS4: The only red ring we have is the "O" button."


Umm... That was for the 360. Don't think that applies here...


He is trying to make a funny and I liked it lol


Yeah it was good but it should be used for the advertising the PS3. Not the PS4.


Fair enough!

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


Kind of lost in what in your talking about but now Online Multiplayer costs money for PS4 just thought it's funny because that's what every hated on for the xbox.
