Sometimes you really struggle with the whole concept of modern life don't you?

Or to use the old adage......... Money doesn't grow on trees lol

I purchase my legit games on torrent sites. (makes sense..) jokes aside i have all retail games nothing purchased over PSN, logic dictates that if i buy a BOOK i need it on this dimension to read it, not in some site or those ****ty e-books. (Only have 3 games so far on steam).

Welcome to 100% digital ERA where you don't own a box with some crazy design but some kind of 3D representation of the game/book/etc you want.

Embrace it or just die trying.

Sony has always bin about the money and always will be but they are goin down hill and we all know if this is what they will do it will be hacked due to there methods just to screw them over just like the ps3.

Selling our old games help us buy new games...not being able to sell our old games may mean lesser capability to purchase new games and lesser money for the dev.

I have woundered if they still get paid for the redistribution for the games even tho they are bein sold 2nd hand. You walk into a game shop in Canada and ps1 and ps2 games are bein sold at 60 bucks a shot almost like brand new. Even some of the ps3 games arnt even that much

When you live at home with mommy, with no bills to pay, you don't have any concepts of real life at all

I think if @Annelies lived on his own and had bills to pay, perhaps he would look at life differently.

The main points of the case that I found.

"The verdict springs from a clash between tech behemoth Oracle and German organisation UsedSoft, which lets people buys used licenses for software. Oracle tried to stamp out the practice, but the court has sided with UsedSoft."


"The ruling seems to deal specifically with licences that can be resold -- there's currently no way to sell Android or iOS apps you've purchased, and it's hard to know to what extent this decision will affect digital downloads like apps or games, and whether companies such as EA could be forced to change their processes as a result. I've reached out to these companies for some extra comment on this story, and I'll update this article if I hear back."


Currently once you've finished with a PS3 game you can sell it to someone else and they can play it. This ruling says that Sony have no way to stop you from selling it.

However if the software has DRM that stops it being used on a 2nd console, then you are still free to sell the disc but if you've already played it the buyer won't be able to use it for anything other than a coaster. The EUCD will prevent you breaking the DRM.

Unless there is another case that forbids DRM that cannot be transferred then Sony don't have a problem.

I miss the days of being able to pop in a game and start playing right away. I hate this whole "wait an hour for the game to download, and 30 to 40 more minutes for the game to install" business. It absolutely fukcing sucks.
