Sony files patent to prevent used game sales

We've heard this as rumor before. Could there be some truth to it?
And how will this affect you in he next generation of consoles?

I don't see this as too big a problem, but it has issues. Reason For: Money will go directly to people who made it. Reason Against: Sales like the Steam sales will probably never happen. Also, GameStop works a supply-and-demand system based on rarity. I bought Bioshock 2 for $9, and titles like Gears 2 and COD4 were there for like $5. I highly doubt you'll ever see full retail older games go less than $20. And that's a shame because that's alot of what I buy. Edit: Also, GameStop had BF Bad Company 1 for $3. You think you'll ever see $3 in Games on Demand? [Edited on 01.04.2013 10:29 AM PST]
