Thor. Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) hmm i don't think the ps4 will require a constant connections and psn will be free as always. lol if that's the case i could see allot of new adopters of the ps4 if that's true. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/teehee.gif Edited February 6, 2013 by Thor.

Thor. Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) It would be suicide for Microsoft if that rumour is true, now its Sonys time to play it smart, because they can't afford to lose at this point. Remember its been tried before and failed miserably. Remember Ubisoft http://www.rockpaper...m-for-pc-games/ also this could be legit, but the vram looks like a copy and paste from the 360, unlike the ps4 vram of 2.2ghz which is great for a console vram, it makes all the difference in gaming in general. Also makes for better multitasking and stability. http://www.extremete...last-gen-radeoncompared to http://gimmegimmegam...specs-revealed/ Edited February 7, 2013 by Thor.

Alithinos Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 http://techblog.brodies.com/2012/07/09/reselling-used-software-licences-what-does-the-oracle-decision-allow-you-to-do/ This is interesting, it may be illegal in the E.U.Yup here in EU someone has the right to sell to someone else something he already bought,and that holds true not only for physical products like cars and TVs,but also software.A few days ago a Consumer's Union from Germany actually sued Valve because Valve doesn't allow people who bought games from Steam to sell them to other Steam members.If the court charges Valve guilty and asks them to pay a fine,then I believe this will change and the other publishers too will forget about trying to force people to not sell used games. P.S. on another note,in the past EU had charged another videogame company guilty,Nintendo,for creating cartel like-price fixing and blackmailing stores about only selling the products on specific prices or else they wouldn't allow them to sell their products,something that is illegal according to EU's free market laws.

It's not just Valve and M$ who could find themselves in serious trouble, EA and other digital distributors could end up paying massive fines. I remember Nintendo getting fined, I just looked it up and it was €167.8 million, they don't do these things by half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 The E.U is a very big market despite the politicians best efforts to destroy it, having games sold on is preferable to not selling any at all in such a large market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
