digital purchases almost always non-transferable
like almost on anything, be it on consoles or pc! you can buy games as a gift for other on Steam but that's about it! you can't resell them in any way.
on PS3, digitally bought contents are transferable to up to 2 consoles and 2 handhelds in which case if the content is downloaded to 2 different consoles, both consoles can play the game at the same time using different accounts without restriction. if you want to download it into the 3rd console, you have deactivate 1... #4.1
DRM used to be a weapon against pirates
Now it's all about used games which are still legit copies which is sad! It's like saying "screw you poor gamers who want to save some money!!" "Buy new or GTFO!!" #1.1.6
this is retail only, right?
it has a tempting PSN offer too, remember? pre-order on PSN for day 1 download and 2 free DLC packs. and the game can be played while downloading too!
I almost gave in to that offer as I can get it cheaper that way too at where I live but I still want to have the disc no matter what and I'm getting the disc today! a little late considering I pre-ordered but hey...the greatness aren't gonna just disappear, right? #1.1.10
@thrust
the feature is already there on Vita. for FREE too but I find it distracting and decided not to use it anymore! as to my friends, it's either you're plaing the same game I'm on or don't bother talking!
sure, it's nice that people who wanted it so much can now have it but I can't see myself using that very distracting feature!
oh..the best part is, will those who said, they will never buy a PS3 because it doesn't have XGC, will they... #4.3

7 years, not 8 but the GPU inside might be 8 years old design seeing as it's equivalent, the GF7800 was released in November 2005.
still mind boggling though as I swear a pc 7 years ago with GF7800 can only dream to run games like the PS3's GoW, Uncharted and TLoU.
consoles are designed with high optimization, so, like the PS3, the PS4 will have long legs too in providing gorgeous looking games 5 years from now. #1.5.5
aren't people forgetting something here?
the PS3s around the world has been taking part in the Folding@HOME project which is a derivative of cloud computing to assist in research for disease and cancer early 2007! the PS3 has done cloud computing like 6 years ago, so why doubt the PS4? like they said...OF COURSE PS4 can do cloud computing! #1.1.14
@Hammad
how can you expect any credibility from a site named games.nine"MSN".com. au? it's a M$ infested site and guess what is at the top right corner...a bing search! so...of course they are going to defend M$ at all cost! #1.2.3
suits M$ quite well IMO seeing how they are BAD and their heads are too deep inside their ASS to actually listen to what gamers want and don't want! #1.1.8
you're the one who are confused here
people were mad when single player oriented games like Dead Space, Resident Evil etc. got shoved with MP component when they are not needed but none complaint when game like Bioshock Infinite doesn't have it, right? it's about the nature of the games which some games need online while some others don't and dumb decisions from the devs are what gamers are mad at!
so, this new Mario game is designed from the ground up to be a MULTIPLAYER game, yet offline only?? tha... #14.1
what a shame
it's like they are not even trying! I can understand if this is the Wii but this is Wii U that is supposed to be more powerful than the PS3 and 360...yet no online? this is just sad! #1.2
not the 1st time M$ went backwards
the original xbox had HHD inside and with 360, there are HDD-less systems and the BAMM...some games REQUIRED HDD to play online! #1.4.9
you really think M$ will make it THAT easy to share you library?
there will be restrictions regarding that, I seriously believe!
this is M$ we are talking about and let's just hope that I will be proven wrong in this and somehow the anti-consumer M$ will freely allow you to share your library with whoever 10 people you like! #20.1.2
it's the 1 MIRRION Dollar question! #9.1
they only let you speculate, sorry! #8.1
