Shitty move by Sony

Sigma · Post by **Sigma** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:37 pm

High street games shops have been told by Sony that there will be no PS3 pre-owned sections in their stores as it will be illegal for customers to sell any next-gen PlayStation games that they've bought, retail sources have revealed to GamesRadar.

It seems that Sony is planning to adopt a licensing system that will mean gamers won't own the PS3 titles that they've paid money for. Instead, they will only be purchasing the licence to play the game and that the software itself will still be Sony property - meaning that the disc won't be the customer's to sell.

Is this a death knell for Sony? It's definitely a hole in its armor, as American audiences would NEVER fall for shit like this. Not when XBOX 360 is doing as well as it is.

That's apalling. Even with expensive computer software, you can sell the licence.

Looks like this is just another rumour that's turned out to be false: -

Shows you how fucked up Sony's rep is since we all immediatley believed this without having to second guess if its true or not.

No way this could be controlled, even if it were true.

You can't track cash purchases and buyers have the right to remain anonymous. Unless they decided to go the MS licensing route, and MS doesn't even really give a fuck about single licenses.....
