Sony wants to stop people from being able to resale their PS3 games after they buy them.

Now how many reasons do you have not to buy a PS3?
1. Most expensive game console in history.
2. Crappy game lineup.
3. Draconian game licensing.
4. Image constraint token will keep you from watching HD movies in HD.
5. Blu-ray has DRM.

Let's not forget about the rootkit they distributed with their CDs.

Sony and their DRM... hah. They're doing everything possible to shoot themselves in the foot.

Ok, I remember news coming out about this when people discovered Sony's intellectual property that would facilitate this. I don't see them designing their systems such that a game gets registered with a specific PS3. Even if they implemented such a thing, it would get DESTROYED in court. If I buy a game, even if (by implication) I'm buying a *license* to play that game, I still have the right to play that game on any damn machine I choose, whether it's my own or a friend's.

If they simply plan to make it illegal to sell used games, who is that REALLY gonna stop? It will just create an underground used games market and will dig deeper into game maker's pockets when people start selling bootleg "used" versions of the game rather than their single, legitimate copy (possibly keeping a bootleg for themselves).
