that will never happen because industries are made to work together...stores like gamestop and whatnot would be assed out. they would never stop the cash flow like that get real..just a rumor. T

just to let yoyu people know the other rumore was that a game this once incerted into a console it would only work on that console and sony was thinking of that but this is probably their other option

ok and umm.. they have done that before with the ps2 each copy of the disc had a specific number pirates now and people to look into information on technology knows

its all "to fight priacy" more lik emake profits more lmfao i really hope its true i swear i want sony to die with their own power

This is a very very very old rumor. Not to be taken seriously at all. And if anyone believed that, they're complete idiots. And if Sony actually did that, then they might as well step out of the gaming business for this console cycle and start working on PS4. But definitely wont happen.

this is fake LOL

from e3 2005

well i bought battlefield2 (for PC) used and i cant play it online if the original owner that is using my serial number is also online.

besides, when we buy a game, we license software from the publisher, we dont actualy "own" the game in the first place....

Wow... I guess that Nintendo may just come in second in this console war. Poor Sony.

But the reason it is stupid is because PS3 games are going to be released on Blu-Ray. At the moment, Blu-Ray (writing) drives are prohibitively expensive, so I cant imagine there being widespread game copying anytime soon. That is also ignoring all of the copy protections that will be inherent in both the software and the disc/writer hardware to prevent against these actions. The security will be almost to the point that reselling is extremely viable. Anyways, what do you do with rentals if this was the case?

Uh no it does not mean that! The technology behind it would simply link your online profile to a reg number already on the disc, duh!

This was shot down months ago. Sony applied for a patent on technology like this but there was no indication that it would be in the PS3

Wouldn't that mean that they would have to write something new on the disc every time someone plays it? That's why I never belive these types of rumours.

This rumour is as old as time, and keeps resurfacing for some strange reason (Microsoft?). This rumour has been debunked. It's not true. Not gonna happen.

thats it, i am getting a wii
fu sony

ARGHHHHHHH GO TO HELLL SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN, this is crazy what next when you take the PS3 out of the box it knees you in the nuts!

man this is a joke

WHAAAAA, are they freakin crazy. If true this could be the stupidest thing ever!
