    but I love preowned games

    I think this discussion came up ages ago about Sony possibly restricting used games, well it seems this has popped up again and they plan to implement it in their next console.

    I'm actually quite angry I like preowned games i mean they've already got their money for that copy of the game when it was brought why should they care what happens to the disc afterwards since technically when someone hands over the money they now own it and should be able to do what they want with it. Preowned games encourage me to take a chance on games I haven't tried before and possibly making me a fan and buying more of their later games new.

    In other words FUCK YOU SONY

    This again? The thing about restrictions on the next console dates back to the talk about Playstation Orbis (rumored to be the name of PS4, but that's ancient history).

    Ah well, I don't have a problem with this. I don't buy used games anymore, and if I ever do, it's rare collectibles - I hate that degrading word, as if it's just about collecting >_> - that can't be found new anymore or costs insane amounts of money. This also only pertains to the next console, if the rumor is even true, so that leaves gaming free on all other current consoles. If everyone gets this console with the restrictions once it comes out, will it matter that much? I mean, you're only barred from playing certain NEW games pre-owned.
    Also, it'll probably just be a matter of time before someone finds a way to bypass the restrictions with a little tweekin' here and there.

    The only slightly bothersome thing about this for now, imo anyway, is that I like having the freedom to play a game on someone else's console or vice versa, since it's kinda dumb that you need to bring your console somewhere if you want to play the game at or with another friend. I guess it'd be pretty annoying if I borrow games from someone or we game a certain game together. Naturally you could still play a game on a console you bring with you etc, but stuff such as trophy lists or other console-specific goods will leave you with no other option than to get your own copy if you want everything out of the game.
    Honestly, when you think about it, it's pretty fair, but it's definitely a bitch for consumers. Do I need to own the SH series that I like so much? >_>

    what happens if something goes wrong with your console though and you have to get a new one that would be a bitch if the memory is internal.

    There will probably be some sort of service or solution for that, as it definitely would be unforgivable otherwise.
