In dispelling the biggest (and quite possibly nastiest) of rumours surrounding their fourth generation Playstation, Sony confirmed to Eurogamer that their latest and greatest home console will in fact play second-hand used games.
Right up until last night’s reveal of the machine, it had been postulated by many rumour outlets that Sony intended to lock use of games to a single console through a patented technology that they sought to implement.
As it turns out, the patent has nothing to do with the PS4 and thusly, brick and mortar retail can collectively breathe a sigh of release.
Hopefully Microsoft follow in Sony’s lead; eschewing the thought of implementing such a silly bit of restrictive technology.
