Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
You are indeed biased, and its easy to understand why. I can understand the desire to confirm a bias that results in positive emotional response, in this case an individuals desire to keep something good coming their way while assuming or not wanting to believe its not having any negative impact. We see this in all facets… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Well, I think they're missing out on an opportunity. They should create other goods/services beyond what already exists to create new revenue streams. As for EA's project $10. That was evil because it didn't make new copies more appealing, it tried to make used copies less valuable to the consumer. To beat the car analogy… -

* The auto industry isn't doing THAT well, that's why you don't see the variation in design that was present circa the 1950's and why most manufacturers have merged, leaving only a few mega car corporations. * Cars use the same parts year to year with minor tweaks/additions unlike games which need completely new writing,… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Its interetesting to think about the shift in what people are always whining about about "every game is the same, there is no new innovative games" that would be because publishers want to actually make their money back they have to look at market leaders who have huge day 1 and initial sales surges to try and win over… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Ya, as sony has said right from the start you`ll be buy and sell used copies of the game (and confirmed this update to the agreement doesnt take that away), they have also put an emphasis on digital downloads. I honestly see the majority of games coming out ONLY on digital download. That right there is how they will fight… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
oh yeah for limited/collectors editions i would still buy the physical versions. i love the statues that come with most of them! but i think my reasons for why digital hasn't taken over are completely valid. and if they fixed those, you'd probably only ever see physical media used for collectors editions. -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
What you saw at E3 was a marketing ploy, nothing more. Consoles will eventually have to go after and stop their biggest source of revenue loss. That being, used game sales. Used game sales, and more importantly the industry built around it, is far worse than piracy. As for EULA and TOS, its nearly always been explained… -
Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it? I hope this article is wrong! Just as the launch date of PlayStation 4 comes closer, Sony has surprised potential customers by updating their Software Usage Terms to disallow resell or renting of all PlayStation games unless authorized… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
An aside. I wonder which is more energy effcient. Steaming something a continent away or using a local disk. They both have drives at the end of the chain. Streaming you do have 1 disk serving thousands of users versus 1 to 1. But then you have to offset this with the 24/7 power that these servers use. While a home users… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
That's fair to point out, as it is a business after all, but the consumer does not give a rats bum. Most purchasers are paying to get their desired product out of the hands of the seller and into theirs - nothing more. I don't see what's so entitled about wanting to get the same value we always have, regardless of how I…
