Playstation 4 Supports Used Games

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

NeverEnding19893991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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

Great news though.

Pyrrhus3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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

buddymagoo3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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

LOL_WUT3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

Sony just owned MS ;)

The PS4 truly is for GAMERS!

Pyrrhus3991d ago

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

Peppino73991d ago

Sony just solidified the next gen war!

JhawkFootball063991d ago

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

kneon3991d ago

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

papashango3991d ago

I think he just announced onling gaming being ps+ only

pompombrum3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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.

DeanSanchez3991d ago

wow MEGATON after MEGATON!

THEY JUST WON THE GENERATION

Boody-Bandit3991d ago

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

ceedubya93991d ago

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.

badz1493991d ago

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!

Not trolling now are you!

showtimefolks3991d ago

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

oricon3991d ago

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_Batman3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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.

Sitdown3991d ago

But you have to pay to play online. Wow.

Bathyj3991d ago

Youre just whistling in the graveyard arent you?

zebramocha3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

just marked u for trolling.

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

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

Death3991d ago

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.

silvacrest3991d ago

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

Death3991d ago

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.

Karpetburnz3991d ago

Lol, damage controlling mad Xbox fanboys.

delicia3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

Megaton! No DRM aswell!

buddymagoo3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

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

Thank you for common sense Sony!

Why o why3991d ago

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

Karpetburnz3991d ago

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 Dover3991d ago

Microsoft.. you have been owned.

kneon3991d ago

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

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

yeah sony one e3 easy.

With indie support day 1 alone.

Mikelarry3991d ago

Ghost Of Tsushima's PSN May Be Online-Only, But People Still Can't Play It

Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.

thorstein12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."

Extermin8or3_3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.

melmacj1h ago

This game is not Helldivers 2. Every game doesn’t need to be Call of Duty. I may or may not play one minute of the online component. I’m buying it solely for the story/campaign. Sony needs to integrate it better but Microsoft does the same with Xbox live account. It’s an ecosystem they will always want to tie into the console audience and frankly don’t know why this is such a big deal.
