So apparently the PS3 will be fitted with a device that makes a game only useable on the first PS3 that plays it, as it registers itself to it. That means no more piracy and copying games, but it also means no borrowing, renting and trading games. Wat are your views on this? I personally think the PS3 will be a huge flop thanks to this new device. Sony will be kicking itself in the ass. I believe this will reduce most gamers to buying only 2/3 games they're sure will be good, losing losts of money for Sony. |

Interesting... I think it's retarded as well. No renting means none of the game rental places will even consider making a buy. I wonder how many people only buy games after trying them out, whether borrowing from a friend or renting? Also, what's to stop people from hacking the game and making the ROM? No game company has been successful in stopping copying so far, and I doubt Sony will be able to do it. So why can't you just copy the game BEFORE you run it on the PS3? Then you have two copies that can register itself to two different machines. Also, the boomerang controller... wtf? EDIT: a few more thoughts: what if your ps3 gets stolen and you get it replaced (insurance company or by yourself)? What about trading in used games? EDIT2: I did a little more research, and it looks like it won't be on the PS3, but Sony can do this if they wanted. |

I believe gamespot said it would not be on the ps3. Current gen is a healthy enough balance of pirated games but still keeping up sales. Even though I would probably laugh at piraters if it was implemented, I realize that some jerks who pirate all their games won't buy it and sales would go down. The fact that most people rent before they buy will also kill sales and leads me to belive that it won't be included |

Jerking rapidly could be an effective way to undo the strange entanglement of shielding and dodging. It could also be used to direct the shield independent of character movement. Some new B moves might include it. Ness's PK Thunder could be redone so you can move with the stick and aim it with the motion sensitive. It could also be used as a way to make smash attacking and dashing independent as a jolt from it along with an attack could smash. Directional attacking... Seriously, the possibilities are endless. I know not all of this would coherently work simultaneously with motion sensitive, but any one piece of it could. Also, for the record, as much as hope for the PS3's failure, they only patented the technology; they have not announced its inclusion. Even if they did, I'm sure that they would make a way, probably very difficult, to unset it and distribute the proper equipment to used game stores and rental places. |

Nintendo knows what they are doing. Anyways, there will always be ways around it. I bet in the first month someone will have pretty much cracked this securiy thing with the PS3. |

It's not going to be put in the PS3. Sony isn't that stupid - they have the technology, but the PS3 won't include it. Don't get 360... or if you do, don't play for more than an hour at a time x) Apparently they're getting sued for the Xbox360 overheating/crashing/scratching discs etc. Revolution will have a GC controller plug-in right? |

I dunno about rev, but I hope ps3 will have a ps2 controller port. Unless of course I actually try one and I like it which is still plausible |
