PlayStation 4 to lock out used games

[Slacker Magician]

I can ONLY see this working IF they put every game for the system up for download and reduce the cost as the game ages. The primary reasons as to why people buy used is because they CAN'T get the game new after a certain period of time and because of cost. Offering EVERYTHING for download would solve one problem, and reducing cost would solve the other.

Of course, this is all too common sense for them, so screw you people who want to play older games; just buy the latest crap for 60+ USD (even though most modern games aren't worth half that given how little content we get anymore) and never dare dream of playing anything more than a few months old.

A six hour (or less) shooter is totally worth throwing my money at .

"Gamers will be free to trade in Orbis games, but the person who purchases a second-hand disc will be restricted to a limited trial mode or "some other form of content restriction." These gamers will be forced to pay a fee to unlock the full title, according to the source."

i may be mistaken but is it me or does that sound a bit like a anticounterfeit method? essentially blocking copied games in general. (like roms)

well, its not like i was planning on getting any new console(s) anyway, as with my disliking of newer games so too is my interest in buying them fading :/ if the next gen proves to be this limiting on people then i'll go from 2-4 purchases (like last year) to 0 overall and just stick to roms and emulators entirely... or MMOs

They want money for demos now? They can go find a dark hole to crawl into.
