Don't think Sony will use it just yet. But I can see this been useful in a few Gens. Sony's thinking ahead. Think of the Licensing deals to be had.

Thx for the Credit(Not) I posted this at 11.10, you normal credit the source of the news.

I was waiting on NeoGaf posting the actual patent...

Yeah, it would probably kill the rental market.

The world is going digital. Once physical media is dead nobody will care about second-hand DRM anyway.

Exclamation $ony

And To Think Some People Will Be Standing Idly By And Do Nothing Something Tells Me This Will Be Another DEJA-VU (OTHER OS on PS3) Aso Soon As They See Something They Dont Like They Will Start To Use As Much Power As They Possibly Can To Stop Them.
I Love My PS3 And So Does My Kids But Some Overpower Companies Are Just Taking Advantage Of Everything they Can As Long As The $$$ Keeps Rolling In.
I Will No Longer Purchase Any $ony Product Just For The Stuff We See From Them .

The Resell Of A System Is Mostly Base on Games they Can Buy Once u Cant Buy Used Games Most People will Just Discard The Systems Or Look For An Alternative

I'm Looking at this in a different way. The game will acquire the console ID when you insert the game in your console for the first time. Regarding the Rental market, they will probably have available on the store a licence for the user to buy in order to use the pre owned game ( i don't think sony will be that dumb in this point) i'm looking at this as a CFW user. if the game acquires the console id the first time it loads up in your console and will no longer work in another console, that means if you make a backup of your game to an HDD, and share it online, the game will not work, due to the console id protection. of course there will be a way around it after a while, but a cfw user will surely, risk going online and buy a licence to play in their cfw ps.
