Could Sony have tricked MS?

Sony patents tech to block used games

Sony is the only company to have made advances into blocking used games. Microsoft to my knowledge has not said or done anything in taking steps to block used games like Sony has.

Sony is always a step ahead. M$ is too busy not making games to notice.kuraimen

actually they were. sony funded the r&d for the xenon the xbox uses. the only reason the ps3 was delayed was because blu ray wasn't ready yet.

[QUOTE="Tony-Baxter"]Rumors leading up to the PS4 announcement made us think Sony was dropping used games. Maybe that was intentional on Sony's part so MS would feel like it wouldn't hurt them to go ahead and do that w/x720.TheXFiles88

ORLY? This $ony's patent says HI!!! 

"Sony Files Patent To Curb Access To Used Video Games"

Sony (NYSE: SNE) may have its hands full trying to reassert its prominence at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week, but the companys PlayStation division has been hard at work addressing another issue: used games. The Tokyo-based Japanese tech company has patented new technology to prevent use of second-hand video game discs on its consoles.

Maybe Sony Tricked them

I think MS thought they were going to have 4GB DDR3 but then PS4 is announced with 8GB DDR5

MS is going to have 8 GB DDR3 according to rumors. So I think MS is getting tricked all over the place.

and do you really think the next CoD will be exclusive? youre really deluded.

marketshares is the most important thing for Lemmings, they dont care about games just as long as they know they got some marketshares.

I wouldnt be suprised if they dont show up to E3, maybe they have finaly realised they have no games to show.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]What facts would he need to get straight? The fact that your article confirms it and Sony confirms they filed a patent to block used media? Or that Microsoft has mever shown any such intent? CanYouDigIt at no point says the ps4 blocks used games but he is right that the intent is there from sony; you dont file a patent for nothing.slaves

Actually companies file patents all the time and nothing ever comes out it. In the case of Sony just look at all the crap they've patent in the last year or two and nothing has happened with it, not to say something wont happened but its really not unusual.
