Sony fuckes up once more !!
" Sony is planning to adopt a licensing system that will mean gamers won't own the PS3 titles that they've paid money for. Instead, they will only be purchasing the licence to play the game and that the software itself will still be Sony property - meaning that the disc won't be the customer's to sell."

Like any customer will care... Sure shops will but I would sure as hell keep selling games when I've gotten really bored with them!

but isn't this license on everything though? Like VHS tapes were made illegal to record your TV..... but everyone did it for convenience reasons rather than to rip the makers off i.e. set the video to record corrie and go out.
If sony adopt this licensing though, and try to enforce it they need to make a compromise such as, buying back the license at the initial value. Of course this will never happen and neither will the plan so lets move along people.

That's copyright law and an entirely different animal.

Aren't actual Xboxes licenced? There seems to be a healthy secondhand market for them, on Ebay and off.
