1267544 2012-03-30 22:19:00 There was a rumor about the new xbox doing this too. If the new xbox does have restrictions to prevent 2nd hand games this was sony's chance to steal a sizable portion of the market from microsoft, or the could just copy them... icow (15313)
1267545 2012-03-31 04:12:00 at least im getting halo 4 and GTA5 on the current console(360) GameJunkie (72)
1267546 2012-03-31 04:25:00 I think this is an attempt to combat piracy. The Game has to validate online or no play

I'm guessing someone will spoof the activation server somehow (re piracy)

Interesting to see how M$ comes back with this re their 360.

1267547 2012-03-31 04:46:00 piracy????, they're just trying to think of new ways to screw everyone over GameJunkie (72)
1267548 2012-03-31 05:42:00 I thought they had a cunning plan to stop sales of second-hand games using a scheme similar to disposable diapers, the content stops potential buyers in their tracks.

In the software market it has already been thoroughly proved to work for Norton, Vista, and Millennium Edition.

1267549 2012-03-31 05:52:00 It's the same for music and film is it not?

You get the film or music but their are rights as to where you can play same.

You can sell movies and CDs as second hand despite attempts by the MPAA and the RIAA to get the laws changed in the US..

1267550 2012-03-31 06:10:00 What was wrong with online passes? Yeah they suck but they are a lot better than having to buy a game brand new. This is just going to piss people off more. icow (15313)
1267551 2012-03-31 06:49:00 I think they will still keep using discs. Too bigger change for a lot of people who don't use credit cards..etc. sahilcc7 (15483)
1267552 2012-03-31 07:55:00 at least im getting halo 4 ... on the current console(360)

1267553 2012-03-31 09:42:00 This is why I don't console game. I'm a PC gamer, as it's just better in my opinion, you can get round this rubbish, and a keyboard and mouse is just easier to use than a game pad. goodiesguy (15316)
