Didn't they also spread the same rumour about the PS4 ?

I'll eat my hat if any company is stupid enough to do this. Besides the best PR way to combat Used games is digital distribution. Also this rumor comes up once every 2 months or so for either system

If true, I guess they're not interested in making money.

yeah until I see real evidence I'm not putting much stock into it. this rumour comes up every time, and considering the push towards digital distribution I doubt companies would do something so archaic and draconian to say nothing of the idea being obsolete in a couple years. used games are going to disappear and it won't have anything to do with systems blocking them.

That'll come in handy when new games will be nowhere to be found after six months and the option of buying them used won't be available. Oh well, I'm sure this won't in any way encourage people to download pirated copies that can be played on any console, or alternately pirate the machines themselves so they can accept used games.
Seriously, if that's true, we already know the loser of the next consoles war.
And didn't Sony already patent that?

Reports like these that claim the new generation consoles will limit things just to piss us off comes out a lot, and they end up being false.
However, I never rule them out entirely, so I take this with a grain of salt. If, for some insane reason, this happens to be true, then my decision to go from console to PC gaming will be A LOT easier.

If this is true, f*** them. That sounds juvenile, but still, that would be ridiculous. Like others have said, if this is true, they would definitely lose me as a customer.
Both they and Sony need to focus on making their consoles durable instead of this crap.

The last time one of these rumors came up, it turned out it was made up by some random internet blogger.
Don't believe any of these rumors about the next gen consoles unless they end up being actual facts.

If that's true, guess I'm only having a Wii-U next generation.

So what's the over/under on the first hack of the system to allow it to play used games? 36 hours?

I basically only buy used games because I'm a "buy game only if it's costing around 10 dollars" type of guy. If it stays this expensive, yeah, I'm just gonna upgrade my pc for this next gen. All hail steam.

Why don't they just team up with the used game stores and offer exclusives for a part of the used game profit?
