There's actually a few articles that can be found regarding this. Here's one of them:

http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=23921409

It's not official yet, but Sony might make it so that when you purchase a game, your puchasing the license so that it can ONLY be played on your PS3 system. You wouldn't ever be able to sell your games, buy them used, or rent them.

Holy s*** thats bad news. What if you buy a game and don't even like it and you can't sell it that blows and if you are not sure what the game is like and you couldn't even rent it that sucks even more. I don't like where Sony is going. I like Sony, but this is bad.

It's a rumor right now, but you never know with Sony, their pretty weird when it comes to that sort of stuff, they'll go to the extreme to make sure their games don't get copied. In the new article I read from my cell phone they said that the game developers would actually make more money from this because they lose money when customers decide to rent games or buy games used instead of buying them new.

It would be a good system i think, for them, but not for everyone else. People would find a way around it though.

I'm not so sure it would of been that great for them. People in Japan are questioning the price as well people here in the US. This would of been a huge blow. Imagine not getting to take your game to another persons house to play it there. And the system will probably weigh 50 lbs (j/k). It wouldn't exactly be easy to pack a PS3 around.

Another part of the ever-raging fight between pirates and programmers.

You'd think pirates would have died out when the airplane was invented, but who knows.

If there was every a system that didn't let you borrow your friend's CDs, I wouldn't use it. I'm already pissed off at WinXP's WMA files.

Lol, it was me!.
Me , being an X-pirate (just incase fed's read this) , thinks this will cut down on piracy. But thats not my point. I just want sony to release something as extreme as this, then for ppl to crack it . More ppl will get chips, to play borrowed games, let a lone burnt games.
