In my opinion another mistake by Sony

[Sixfold01]

I was looking forward to SOMEDAY owning a PS3 for MGS4 or maybe Kingdom Hearts 3, but then they come out with this crappy e3, huuuge price, and this news! BWahAhAha take that Sony Fanboys, I think I'm gonna join the Wii60 club!

Sony are sure making me get a xbox360 and Wii.

sony are fuckwits

 

(adds little to the conversation, but I think it sums it up!)

Surely this move, if its true, will kill off independent retailers. I have such a shop called Chips near me and I get on pretty well with the staff there. The owner told me ages ago that small chains like that only survive due to the 2nd hand market as they make very little profit off new games.

HAHA, too much!!!

 

Btw, sony's losing it. I lend games and get games from my friends all the time.

Probably just an overblown rumour, like Xbox games having to be re-purchased to play on Xbox 360..

I heard this news about 8 month ago, i think its true.

 

EDIT: and fucking stupid.

You mean "Image Constraint Token"? I think that move is delayed until the end of the decade. IGN Gear wrote about it..

Sony says it is an false speculation.

[Mikey]

What next? We're not allowed to buy used cars? Well using Sony's logic, buying a new car, takes away a potental sale of a new one. If this is true, I will NOT buy the PS3. I'm so sick to fucking death of companies trying to get every last penny they can get out of us. The thing that pisses me off is, if Sony did this, it would become accepted, and would become the norm. ARGH.

ROB is the coolest thing ever, I so want one!!!

[gorrit]

 

Hmm...that reminds me...

 

 

 

Ehm, the "accessory" that saved the US video gaming market was a mistake?

 

And I don't think it's true (the PS3 not-being-able-to-run-preowned-discs thing), it would be market suicide for Sony to do it.

 

 

BTW, I remember reading somewhere awhile ago that Japan tried to stop the pre-owned video gaming market since it made the video gaming markets sales drop. Anyone know anything about this?

[Guest Stefkov]

also anyone heard about that game where if you play it and die you can never pplay the game again, thats a load of bullshit. this is a crap move by sony, gonn tell my friends and they arent gonna be too happy.

this reminds me i heard of this quite a while ago but not like this.

i heard it as when you buy a game it registers to your system alone and you cant sell it off again, i hear this a long time ago, so basically it was true.

I thought this was linked in with the HD media format protection that was being implemented by the movie industry. Turns out that this is being put off:

Notice how this is not definite though.

[CompSci]

meh give a few months after PS3 is released and it will get hacked, nuff said

[The Bard]

Ehm, the "accessory" that saved the US video gaming market was a mistake?

 

Yes. Because it didn't save the US gaming market, the NES did.

[rokhed00]

Sony says it is an false speculation.

 

 

And how many times have Sony backtracked on official statements?

 

I'm sure the fact that they filed a patent for exactly this is completely coincidental.

[The Bard]

Dude...ur avatar is scaring me...

Good.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[Domstercool]

Ahh that rumour again. Sony denied it ages ago.

[masaki86]

Ebay will die a painful death.

[ThePigMarcher]

Initially I thought the idea was a wind up and if not it was bloody stupid ... BUT.....

the more I think about it , the more I reckon Sony are onto a winner.

 

Considering how reliable Sonys' hardware is , they know that you will be forced to buy a new console at £400 every 13 months (just after your warranty expires) , but not only that , you will also need to re-purchase your exsisting games every 13 months too (because your old copies are linked to your now busted consoles).

 

On reflection , this is actually a genius bit of marketing by Sony.

Oh man that sh*t was funny. (starts dancing:yay: ) Its Ridge Racer!

Yeah, in the end, the NES (or probably, SMB etc) saved it, but without ROB Nintendo wouldn't have been able to get the NES in stores.
