Now I'm waiting for the Sony-clones to come in here and tart talking all sorts of shit.
"That's a smart business move, Sony! lolMicrosoft doesn't give a shit about their customers! They'll let pirates steal your balls and everything!!!"
But when Microsoft mentioned this, they were Satan-incarnate...

Anything to feed your sad little inner fanboy.

Dang it Microsoft. I specifically expressed my desire to [b][i]not[/i][/b] have my balls stolen

[quote]11. Use restrictions (known as DRM) Some services available via the SEN may have specific rules on how they may be used. For instance, you may be restricted to downloading, streaming and/or using the service: (i) in your country of residence only; (ii) with the purchasing SEN account only; (iii) with certain Sony systems and/or other devices only; and/or (iv) with a certain number of Sony systems that are associated with the purchasing SEN account only. These restrictions are outlined at the time of purchase but may not be displayed in your SEN account language. We are able to offer the services to you at the price specified only on the basis that they are managed by the DRM. Please make sure you understand these restrictions before purchasing. In those restrictions, HOME CONSOLE means a PS3 and PORTABLE CONSOLE means a PSP, a PS Vita or a PS Mobile device. Activation of the relevant Sony system by the purchasing SEN account may be required. If you delete the account that purchased the Service or deactivate the relevant Sony System, you may lose access to and use of the service. We reserve the right to limit the number of times that a Sony System may be activated or deactivated. You may download any service purchased from PlayStation®Mobile via a PlayStation-Certified mobile device on up to three compatible activated PlayStation-Certified mobile devices.[/quote]Yep. Good call, Sony. Because all that shit you gave Microsoft doesn't seem like hypocrisy now... oops, I used extreme sarcasm.

Edited by Hunter: 11/11/2013 5:11:36 PM[quote]Isn't this what they said at E3? That used games and trade-ins were up to the publisher? And that Sony-published games they said wouldn't have any restrictions? Plus that link doesn't seem right, does it? https://legaldoc.dl.playstation.net/[u][b]ps3-eula[/b][/u]/psn/e/e_tosua_en.html[/quote] [quote] You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, [i][b]unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.[/b][/i][/quote]

Yep, they lied.

This is exactly what they said in June. [quote] “The DRM decision is going to have to be answered by the third parties, it’s not something we’re going to control, or dictate, or mandate, or implement,” he said. “There’s gonna be free-to-play, there’s gonna be every potential business model on there, and again, that’s up to their relationship with the consumer, what do they think is going to put them in the best fit. “We’re not going to dictate that, we’re gonna give them a platform to publish on.” [/quote]

Edited by Hunter: 11/11/2013 5:13:16 PMObviously they didn't. [quote]You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, [b][i]unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.[/i][/b][/quote]
