Same exact RUMORS in 2005 before the PS3 came out. ...did it happen?
PlayStation 3s won't play borrowed, used, or rented games
The site cites Sony US Patent #6,816,972, which is for "a device and method for protection of legitimate software against used software and counterfeit software in recording media." Specifically, the patented technology would verify that when software was inserted into a "machine" (read: console), it was registered to that machine. If it couldn't, the technology would prompt the machine to shut down, preventing the software from being accessed.
PlayStation 3 won't play used games?
The latest rumor, generated from several patent sites, claims that Sony has secured a patent for a disk technology that prevents the use of used, as well as pirated, software.
No Pre-Owned Games to be Allowed for PS3?
A story is making its way around cyberspace today at lighting speed, with the worrying message that Sony is planning to prevent people from playing pre-owned games on their PS3.
A few days ago we reported on a rumor that suggested that Sony could be using a new DRM (Digital Rights Management) system to prevent people from playing second hand games on their PS3. Sony has now commented on the rumor, confirming that the newly patented DRM system will not be used in the PS3.
"I would like to clarify that this is false speculation and that PlayStation 3 software will not be copy protected to a single machine but will be playable on any PlayStation 3 console," said a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson.
So there you have it, it was all rumors, but we kind of knew that already didn’t we…

Oh god..... he's back
EVERYONE RUN!!!!
Also..... omg that video actually got me excited!! Can't wait for e3 this year, going to be massive!
Edit: However thinking back i've decided this is unlikely to be the PS4. Sony lead said himself he was going to let microsoft go first just recently in an interview, so it wouldn't make sense really..... unless that was a ploy to throw people off. Hhhhhmmm either way I see Microsoft gaining further ground on Sony in the next generation of consoles, Sony are simply out of touch with gamers right now.

LOL more rumors.. im going to wait till the sony 10 yrs plan is up which is nov 2014..
The PS3 was released in the US & Japan in 2006. Ten years from then would be 2016, not 2014....
No, ps3 was made in 2004/2005 then released 2006 and didnt hit some places till 2007 /08. the development yr is counted as the 1st yr. not the yr released on the market.
2005..2006. 2007.2008.2009, that 5 yrs.. 2010, 2011,2012, 2013 2014. That 10 yrs .. Sony said they had a 10yr plan.. lets keep that in mind..
Nope. That's not how it works. Sorry.
that how it work dude. Alot games take 3 years to make a nd have been on the market for 1 yrs. your say thing game is 1 yrs old. its actually 4 yrs old. Development of anything starts on paper not on the store shelf.. The clock starts when it start with development not when it hit the market.
A ten yr cycle plan and a ten yr public marking plan are two diffrent things man. Lets not confuse things.
That's like saying that even though I was born in 1987 I'm really 34 years old because my mom thought about having a kid since she was 18 years old. It doesn't work like that.
what you tlking about dude. i said when you make aproduct the development yrs are counted as well. if where start a project they will ask how long you been working on it. and you reply we havent started..? They will ask how much development cost, they will ask how long have you been planning this.? and say you i havent planned it. Guess what you... just lost a deal?
Now if i have planning a developing this thing for 2 yrs. and give number of i have ex 400$ spend in development, and they ask what could what do sell it for, i say 600$.. they say those are good number in your development of 3 yr project.
It has nothing to with your date of birth. i dont know why you would say something so out range when talking about how buisness do buisnees.. Anyone will tell you a products age start in development( on paper) not when it hit the shelf . becuase they have to do the cost and profit before it even hit the shelf. shelf life and development life are two diffrent things.
Everthing made had a projected sales to meet before ( these are called development cost). You cant do that on whim slapping product together and stick it on the shelf and say this our 1st yr. The yr something is developed or planned.is not the same it debut onthe shelf. some item take yrs before it hit the market shelf dude. The car you drive have been in development production for yrs. On the market it might 1 yrs old 2013, but it been in development for 10 yrs. so that make it 11 yrs old dude.
your acatully trying compare your birth date of birth to a way a product is develop, ???
If that is what you want to believe, fine, but it isn't correct. As you can see no one else is agreeing with you.
The 10 year product life cycle, does not include its development time, you keep making that assumption/mistake.....
