PS3 "No pre-owned games"

[adolescent]

Japanese games are already prohibited from resale and hiring (since 1998 I believe).  But, that doesn't seem to affect the ammount of used game sales in Japan and exports (not sure on the hiring/rental though).  This technology might enforce the existing laws, but I doubt it would be technologically or finacially viable to have games start having Windows style activation.   :-(

Now I know why the UK Amiga shows are called 'Big Bash'  ;-)

It's easy, just avoid the table with PC's on it and a guy standing there looking like the lost extra from an old Red Hot Chilli Pepper album cover ;-)

Dammit Karlos, that's another mental image that'll take weeks of therapy to recover from. :-x

most companies patent and copyright everything they possibly can. this patent might be nothing to worry about at all. i doubt any console company would purposly do something to tip the favor so heavily to anouther companies product as this would.
