"Hey Bob?"

"Yes Joe?"

"Can I borrow FFXVI?"

"Sure you can! I'll just go grab it and - O shi, Bob, I forgot, Sony are more money-obsessed than hobos and therefore burned an, "Only the PS3 of Bob can use this game" seal on it!"

"Well damn, I guess I'll have to go and contribute more money to their satanic cause if I want to play FFXVI, and for all I know I'll hate it."

Wait a minute....how would this even work? I mean, for this to work the PS3 would have to be able to write to the disc itself and change it. This whole blu-ray thing is all advanced and has smaller tracks and would be a hell of a lot harder to write to, wouldn't it? And you know Sony is worried about the PS3 costing too much, so why would they include a friggin blu-ray disc writer in the machine? And even if they did, for it to work the game companies would have to agree and not write-protect their games, but leave a little space. Some shitty companies would jump on this, but others actually care about their costumers somewhat.

The point is, I don't see how this would work at all. It's probably just speculation and ideas for the future. Kinda like those rental movies that destroy themselves as you watch them. How many people use those?

"Sony has dispelled the rumor that the PlayStation 3 would make use of a new DRM system that would prevent gamers from playing used games. A SCEE spokesperson recently stated, “this is false speculation… PlayStation 3 software will not be copy protected to a single machine but will be playable on any PlayStation 3 console.” Rumor extinguished."

Sounded too good to be true. I wanted Sony to fail this gen =/ Ah well. Although I won't deny believing this rumor, I will tell you I thought it was a tad fishy, especially with the whole writable-thing eb mentioned.

Well, they've supposedly developed a method for doing it. Otherwise this story would never have been started. They filed a patent. So I'd assume they are capable of doing it, they just won't implement it.

Why? Did you read the couple posts above? This thread was just a RUMOR which has been declared false.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright. And I write the blog for their website. Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
