This is bad news but Sony will not allow customers to resell PS3 games to other players in stores By having users purchase a license to play a game rather than the game itself, Sony would retain ownership of the game therefore making it illegal to sell it secondhand. Secondhand game sales are a huge market, and Sony sees it as revenue lost when someone pays a shop for a used game rather than Sony directly for a new one. Players accustomed to being able to spend a fraction of the price for an older game, however, probably won't take too kindly to Sony's techniques.

I was actually looking for reasons to buy a playstation, as as far as i'm concerned their a bit crap. So I thought i'd give them (another) try with these next gens.
But I mean it seems Sony are trying to sell every copy of a game they can, a bit cheap... Where as Nintendo are offering free downloads of older games. I know which company I'd rather be with!

Hmm not too sure, I mean I don't think there's any point in them doing this, as ECS said, people will probably find a way around it.
PS3 may do well as a console, in fact I doubt it will do anything else... but I just don't see what the fuss is about. I just don't feel they offer much, Nintendo offers innovation, and Xbox with the great online gameplay was enough to make me buy it. Blu-ray disks and a hefty price tag just don't do it for me.

are u sure x?? i dont see how is that possible... why wud Sony care??? they are concern for selling their products eg PS3.. games... is up to the game developers... i think if its true, this will fail n change by launch.

This is not true. As confirmed by Jennie Kong, UK PR Manager at SCEE.

il just sell the licence on rather then the game, gaybay all of it

If this is true...
I hope they're paying for my games then, and I want quite a few at launch and then loads more after. So Sony better get they're money ready.

Havin a license wouldnt really bother me cause I dont tend to resell my games on. Main games I buy are the Final Fantasies, Fifa, Pro Evo and couple of car games
But agree that the concept is stupid of a license and its a good thing they not releasing it or all the retailers might get pissed at em and then theres no one left to sell their console lol

Makes me even happier I didn't wait and bought the 360 instead.
Posted by Glenny
that sucks... i dont think fans are going to be happy, meaning theyre not doing what a business should, keep there customers happy

I'm Glad I bought the 360!
Atleast there is now a mod available to run backup copies ( 
) of your games on the 360. Also some of the 360 games (Like Quake4 & PGR3) look so good, I dont see how the PS3 games can look better.
