Playstation 4 Supports Used Games

It's official, PS4 allows for the sale of used games.

[NeverEnding1989]

Does Playstation still support exclusive games? I've hardly seen any so far.

Great news though.

[Pyrrhus]

Its huge, Xbox is the complete opposite to ps4.
This is the biggest news of E3.

[buddymagoo]

No online check in either!! And E3 goes to Sony.

[blitz0623]

Game over Xbox One

[LOL_WUT]

Sony just owned MS ;)

The PS4 truly is for GAMERS!

[Pyrrhus]

Despite the somewhat average showing, I really am happy in my decision to support Sony.

[Peppino7]

Sony just solidified the next gen war!

[JhawkFootball06]

Ahhhh they just announced that you have to pay for Ps+ for multiplayer.

[kneon]

I wonder if we need to put greenpowerz and frigidarkness on suicide watch after these announcements :)

[papashango]

I think he just announced onling gaming being ps+ only

[pompombrum]

Have to admit, I was shocked by Sony's conference up until the point used game support was announced.. now Sony just won E3. They dropped some huge bombs on Microsoft and kicked them in the nuts big time.

So long Microsoft, you're now dead to me.

PS+ for mp.. LOL.. is that all you Microtards got as a comeback? Try harder.

[DeanSanchez]

wow MEGATON after MEGATON!

THEY JUST WON THE GENERATION

[Haules]

XBOX GO HOME!

[Boody-Bandit]

What now to those that claimed Sony will have some form or DRM? What now?
Sony listens to their consumer base.

[ceedubya9]

Pyrrhus is right. The biggest news of the day isn't necessarily the games, but how the games are played. Sony has finally shown their stance, and took a shot at Microsoft in the process. Xbox had a good showing today, but their online policies will continue to overshadow any bonus points they got today with their games showing. They have to change their online policy while they still have time. They gave Sony a huge advantage.

[badz149]

did you missed the part where he said the President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios revealed that 30 PS4 games in development, 20 of which will be out within the first year, and 12 of which are a new IP?

so...those are games from their own studios which means...EXCLUSIVES!

[stage88]

Not trolling now are you!

[TheBlackSmoke]

BASED TRETTON!

[Haules]

Game over Xbox One!!!!

[showtimefolks]

This is how you do it MS

Used games
No need to connected to NET

Sony a gaming company that actually care about gamers proven by news today

[oricon]

Sorry but sony just ripped microsoft to shreds, they really need to remove that drm stuff if they want to stand a chance before the console is released.

[I_am_Batman]

Fatality. Xbox is done seriously if PS4 gets a better price point it's over for MS unless they change their direction until launch which is highly doubtful.

[Sitdown]

But you have to pay to play online. Wow.

[Bathyj]

Youre just whistling in the graveyard arent you?

[zebramocha]

@peppino that old playstation saying,next gen begins when Sony says so.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

@NeverEnding1989

So infamous, killzone, drive club(instantly accessible to psn+ members), knack, new Sony santa monica game, new david cage game, FF Versus are coming to xbox??

Haven't seen Naughty Dog yet, level 5 etc..

plus ps3 exclusives???

Ur a dumb fuking ass.

U actually hate sony supporting used games?? lol real xbox fucktard u r..

cant wait for u to get one bubble again.

just marked u for trolling.

Also Bungie on ps4 b!tch!! Destiny Looks awsome!

oh yeah ps4 is $399 and is more powerful :P

[Death]

If it is more profitable to publish games on the XboxOne and hardware sales between the two are similar, what is to prevent third parties from jumping to the new Xbox platform? Everyone claims it is all about the games, but not many support the people that make them and publish them. This could turn out to be a huge win for Microsoft if they sway any of the larger third parties to support them exclusively. Sony does not have the cash to roll out enough exclusives to keep the PS4 alive if this happens.

[silvacrest]

wouldn't publishers jump to where the install base is? right now it looks like the PS4 will be that console

[Death]

Right now is way too ear;y to tell. Typically, third parties follow the install base. Third parties also help build the install base. If I buy Madden for $60 and it can only be traded in at Gamestop once, what happens to the value compared to a copy on the PS4 that can be traded multiple times? If the publisher is paid twice for 1 copy and once for a copy sold multiple times used, where is the greater profit margin? Not only would the XboxOne version be more profitable compared to multiples on the PS4, but as gamers the value of your used game went up with it when it can only be resold once. Gamestop will no longer have so many copies of used games that they are only worth 50 cents when you trade them in.

This gamble Microsoft is taking may be huge. They are protecting the publishers/developers and at the same time increasing trade values for customers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure how much I appreciate the restrictions, but it's a ballsy move that is quite frankly without presedence. If it works, color me pretty damned impressed.

[Karpetburnz]

Lol, damage controlling mad Xbox fanboys.

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

^^^^^^^ BOOM!!!

EDIT:: NO DRM, NO USED GAME RESTRICTION, NO MANDATORY ONLINE AND NO 24 HOUR CHECK IN! THANK.YOU.SONY!!!!

edit:: uh oh did he announce PS+ for MP? So $60 a year? damn :(

[delicia]

Megaton! No DRM aswell!

[mandf]

End of story

[buddymagoo]

It's official Sony just won over gamers across the world!

Thank you for common sense Sony!

[Why o why]

So....Story Dun on that then....No More Grouping

[Karpetburnz]

If its true that you need PS+ to play online, while I'm not very happy about it, I'm still fully supporting PS4, why would PS gamers jump ship to Xbox when they're also charging for multiplayer.

In fact it's better on PS4 because if you dont pay, you will still have access to all your media apps unlinke Xbox which has apps like Facebook, netflix and youtube behind a pay wall.

[Ben Dover]

Microsoft.. you have been owned.

[kneon]

Sony could have skipped the games and just made these announcements and still would have come out on top.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

yeah sony one e3 easy.

With indie support day 1 alone.

[M-M]

They just won.

[Mikelarry]

thats all i needed to hear. PREORDERED

[-Alpha]

NOW they have won! Look at that crowd reaction!

LOL!! A "SONY" CHANT!

Listen to those jabs.

[stage88]

XBONE GOT XBONED!!

[GentlemenRUs]

XBONE just died! NO USED GAME Policy nor ONLINE checkins!

[TXIDarkAvenger]

They just took a huge jab at MS. The crowd went wild. LOL this is so funny.

[Chuk5]

Shots fired from the depths of space.

[faysal]

are you guys seeing thoes poeple !!! THIS IS CRAZY!!!! NO DRM, NO ONLINE-ON... PS4LIFE

[GamersHeaven]

YES! Sony you won!

[DxTrixterz]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. PS4 Freaking wins. Screw Microsoft, PS4 WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNS. Also no online checks YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS S.

[vitullo31]

OHH YEAHHHHHH

[Relientk77]

And Sony just won E3! PS4 has no restrictions on used games, and no always online or any of that bullshit. Nice job haha throw it in Microsofts face

[Pozzle]

Hell yes!!

[givemeshelter]

This was the best part of the conference

[Ozmoses]

XBOX ONE AND DONE!!!!! PS4 took the show!

[ElementX]

All MS has to do is back down on the DRM. They probably will after that slap in the face, lol

[Death]

Not that simple. It won't take many third parties to convince Sony to do the same. Follow the money. Publishers will go where the profit is. If they make considerably more on the XboxOne, Sony will either follow suit or fall to the side. DRM on PC's is already a reality, consoles will follow if the money dictates it.

[RandomDude655]

lol lol lol lol Sony was laughing at Microsoft

suck it!

[Karpetburnz]

Lol at all the fanboys that were saying "Sony will follow Microsoft and will block used games" now they have been OWNED.

[TBONEJF]

GAME OVERRRRRR!!!! SO LONG XBOX ONEEE!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!

[wingman32x]

Sony just took the opening Microsoft gave them and popped them in the face big time.

Awesome.

[first1NFANTRY]

GAME OVER M$. Your BS tactics fail.

PS4 forever

[andrewer]

wow you are fast
btw: direct microsoft attack ROFL

[DxTrixterz]

Sony just won next gen war. Period. NOW quickly give me pre-order site NOOOOOW FFFFAAAAAAST.

[Nocando]

At this point I think MS will have to change their policies if they want to even get out of the gate. What the f are they thinking?

[silvacrest]

sony have already won this conference and if microsoft dont change their stance on used games, sony will dominate the next gen

[Bhuahahaha]

"ps is all about games"

enjoy your cable box microsheep

[badkolo]

and you now pay for online multiplayer on ps4
the field is now even my friends
no more free multiplayer on psn

[DxTrixterz]

Hell I can pay for PSN as much as they want. At least they officially do not have any kind of DRM crap that M$ has. M$ has just been killed. R.I.P X1.

[sonic989]

even ?
are you sure even if we payed but EVEN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL check again

[Karpetburnz]

No because Xbox one will still lock every media app ( facebook, youtube, netflix etc..) behind the Xbox live pay wall, if you choose not to pay for PS+ you will still have access to every media app on PSN, that's the difference which was actually one of my biggest complaints about the Xbox 360.

Overall You still get more for free on PSN.

[LightofDarkness]

Yes, but it seems we'll be paying for MP now. Win some, lose some.

[CaptainPunch]

Sony just won E3, a real console for real gamers.

[SEAN1617]

NO FREE ONLINE PLAY.

[LeRise]

This is EPIC, EPIC WIN!!!
Sony, thank you for listening to us, we will never forget this.

[arkard]

GG Micro$oft!!! Well played Sony!!!

[i3eyond the Circle]

Wait...PsN online play is no longer free? Listen to the wording.

[A2X_]

Loved that part of the conference. They took direct jabs at Microsoft & it was super effective loll

Xbone fans are gonna be quite for a while.

4>1

[swishersweets20031]

Nail in coffin

[Bathyj]

Man, the way Jack just said all that, it was like he was talking directly to Microsoft and saying, What were you thinking?

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Did they just announce that you have to pay to play online or was that just me?

[RandomDude655]

Holy shit Destiny looks good

[nix]

hoot! ((:

[AKR]

So 2/3 next-gen systems support used-games.

Microsoft...You better quit with the no used-game policy while you're behind, before you end up falling.

Yet even so ~ At least the Wii U's online services are still free. So now the Wii U has:

- NO DRM
- Allows used-games
- Has free online

~ Not bad at all.

[LogicStomper]

So if i'm understanding this correctly, Sony jut told everyone that they support used games and, don't require an online connection to play.So because of this, they won E3?

But what happened to the entire "paying for basic online multi-player" thing? I thought everyone was so strongly against this a week ago.

[DxTrixterz]

I don't care if you will have to pay for PSN from now on. People LISTEN for goddammit no DRM ESTRICTIONS AT ALL. Sony wins, flawless victory,fatality.

[DxTrixterz]

I can't wait to see what will M$ do now.

[a_bro]

its sad that E3 has to Resort to this instead of games. Microsoft and their disgusting practices man...

[daedra]

ps4 is done.

[badkolo]

yeah horrible conferecne, all multi plat games, a few exclsauioves, most games played were multi, and they skipped past their big exclusives, no special features shown that we didnt already know. and the fact its 100 cheaper worries me, why so cheap.

[badkolo]

drm will not harm the xbox one, most of us odnt care about that issue. i dont. and the conference was lame, big time, but the price is nice but that tells me its not that much more powerful then the xbox one

[MrMayhem28]

As gamers we need to support the PS4
