What are Sony playing at!!!!!! Playstation

Hi All, It's Vince  the Mad Hatter bring you more tech news.

Well talk about my eyes popping out of my head !!!!!!!!! with Disbelief and shock when i read this article an i thought i would share it with you all.

I am a fan of the Playstation i think it is good value for
money for the features that you get. But stopping you from using used games!!!!!

The Games are already very expensive and being able to buy used games is a must. And what do you do when you have finished a game?
I sell mine on so that a can buy the latest game.

Tell me your thoughts on this after read this and do
the poll what are Sony playing at!!!!!!

What if I told you that the next DVD/Blu-ray player you buy will only play newly bought discs?

And if you were to buy used, borrow your friends' discs, or rent games, your machine would not play them? Well, it has been reported that the new Sony PlayStation 4 console (or Orbis as it's said to be called) will not play PlayStation 3 games, and the console will also have anti-used-game measures built in.

That means no more playing rental games or borrowing games from your buddy, and of course you can't play pre-owned games! What has been reported is that if you do use secondhand games, you'll have to pay an extra fee. Why all this madness?!

It looks like game developers feel like used game sales are choking the industry.

To be fair, it was reported earlier this year that Microsoft is considering blocking used games on the next version of the Xbox.

I don't know about you, but to me that's just crazy! My son and I buy used games quite a bit, and it would be a huge setback for both of us if they were to go through with this. I will probably just say no to a newer console, at least until the game prices are lowered, or I'll just refuse to buy a new console and go back to PC gaming until something changes.

So what do you all think about this? Are you willing to buy a console that locks out secondhand games?

What do you think will happen to all those game outlets that sell pre-owned games or game rental services. Is their business model doomed? If companies like Sony and Microsoft go through with this, do you think it will have a negative effect on the game industry, or will it have no impact at all, because people will continue to buy new?
