Sony goes stupid... again
p. Well apparently Sony is pulling another stupid idea out with more really bad DRM with the Sony PS3.
p. The possible DRM in the PS3 will prevent you from:
Renting games
Bringing a game to a friend's house to play on their PS3
Selling or Buying used games
p. Oh that sounds just super, sign me up, or how about I just stick with Xbox 360 or Nintendo Revolution instead, so far their DRM if any isn't idiotic.
p. Friend pointed me at this lovely info here: "No pre-owned games to be allowed on Playstation 3":http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27568
p. This adds onto the previous stupidity of Sony and their music CDs they publish with DRM that basically root kits windows computers to prevent them from doing anything and possibly even reporting usage data. Of course those CDs work fine on a mac. They also blame apple for not allowing others to do DRM on the iPod or something. Yeah their solution is for you to talk to apple about your inability to play your sony CD music where you want.
p. Root kit info I read while ago here: "Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far":http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html
