This is my last DRM/Sony post for the week, but what in the world are these loons thinking? (Please read the rest of this post with the understanding I am banging with considerable pressure on my keyboard and there may even be some spittle flying here and there.) Sony has applied for a patent that would put render Playstation 3 games unplayable on any console but the one it was *first* played on. No selling it, no taking it to a friends house and forget your entire collection if you get a newer playstation a year or so later or get a second playstation for the minivan for those long road trips. "A PATENT may allow Sony to ensure that no game would be playable from any console other than the one in which it was first read. Joystiq is reporting that this patent is the source of the many rumours that will mean as much to gamers as DRM is for music fans. The technology would allow an authentication code to be read and then rendered unreadable, making the software unplayable on any machine but the one which first read it." The insanity of it all. :evil: This is enough to make me stop buying anything Sony makes. Oh, wait. I started doing that in the late 90's. __________________ text sig
