I don't dabble in used games much but the restrictions on used games really puts a sour taste in my mouth. Imagine if cars were like that.
What happens if you have a great multiplayer game and you want to take it over to a friends' house? I'm not putting my PSN account on their machine. Does that mean I can't play the game that I bought? The feeling of "purchasing" or "ownership" of games is going out the window. If that's the way the system works it would feel more like a permanent rental.
Ya this is my biggest issue. Pretty much the only time I play games now is going over to friends' houses and I barely even play my own console but still buy games. If I cant play a game I bought on multiple consoles then they are just useless pieces of plastic.
Guess Ill go back to playing sports or something lol.

I really think the big reason console games reign is being able to play with friends, at least thats how it is for me. If I cant buy Mortal kombat or Twisted Metal and bring it over to multiple friends' houses then why buy these games. Im not gonna play it by myself, these games are designed to play with friends. PC is more of a lone wolf or online deal, not Ill bring my disk over and we can play 2 player. Its part of the console history and why its so huge imo. With out that aspect I woulda lost interest in console gaming over a decade ago.
