Sony Unsure If PS4 Will Play Used Games

[Loose]

It's a massively important issue and I understand why it's one that keeps coming up and will keep coming up, because people want to know what the exact stance is," he said in reply to a question about potential pre-owned games prevention.

"At this moment in time the announcements have been about our philosophy and vision for PlayStation 4, our motivation to put the gamer at the heart of it and why we've got the development community on it.

"In relation to points like that, of course we're mindful of what the game development community wants and what the wider industry issues are with those things. I think in good time that will become clearer." Pushed on the issue, Sony's Denny would only acknowledge that the firm would do what it sees as "the right thing" by both consumers and the development community.

"It's not something that I feel I have any further announcement or comment to make on, other than to acknowledge with you that it's a massively important issue and of course we are going to do the right thing," he said.

Yeah...to me....those kind of answers mean

"No, you will not be able to play used games on the PS4....."


-Sony

I just feel like, if you were going to allow used games, there would be no reason to dodge the question. When someone asked something so stupid you'd be like " Hell yeah you can play used games....."

Anything other than that is a confirmation that used games will not be allowed.

PS4 ain't blocking used games.

If you paid 19.99 for a used game then had to pay 4.99 to play it, and meanwhile on 720 cant play used games AT ALL, who lost?
