I never understood that PS3 game sharing crap

i give up - owned :cool:

But the ps3 can do that with out the hoop jumping. Remember, you have to licence the xbox under your name and account. You can't do that with an xbox under some else's name and account.

You can play any digital purchase from the 360 on any other console as long as you're signed into your profile. I often do this at friends' by just bringing my profile on a USB stick. The licence transfer, if I remember correctly, is only to allow you to play a digital purchase on a console without the need for you to sign in to XBL. You can only do it every few months I think.

As I said. The ps3 can do it with out the hoop jumping. They both can do it with digital games only.

[QUOTE="Desmonic"] Nope! Still there! Meanwhile I can let my buddy play my games on his PS3 as long as I want to. After that I just "deactivate" his PS3 (as in, not allowing it to be my 2nd PS3 anymore) and I can let another buddy play. Yeaaah. Sony, b!tches! XD

Sounds complicated, it's actually rather simple. They even show you how to properly deactivate other PS3's so you don't get in trouble (not that you would, you just wouldn't be able to do the same to a 3rd PS3 without the deactivation process).

How did we even get on the topic of the PS3. This is about the PS4, where you need to be signed in on the console to play the stuff. Which isn't new

The fact that you're still defending it proves your ignorance. Myself and the rest of the gaming community with an IQ above 100 will be making the right decision.

How did we even get on the topic of the PS3. This is about the PS4, where you need to be signed in on the console to play the stuff. Which isn't new

stabbed in the back :cool:

IF (big IF) it works the same as the PS3, yes you need to login to download the games and whatnot, but after, as long as you leave that other console as your "2nd PS3" your friend can play on his account.

It would be stupid for them to not at least try it since the PS4 is already quite a ways ahead of it.

Wow you all no nothing, of course the One can do this, MS said as much before E3. Info on Microsoft's 'Meet Xbox One' page reveals the newly unveiled console allows you to play 'immediately as games install.' May 21 2013.

But the ps3 can do that with out the hoop jumping. Remember, you have to licence the xbox under your name and account. You can't do that with an xbox under some else's name and account.

xbox can do it without hoop jumping as well. Any digital game (full retail in this case, not arcade, theres another trick for that) can be downloaded to another console (no license transfer needed) and that person can play it without any problems.

Considering you just said "no" instead of "know,"  I'm going to call bullshit. Also this in reference to games as "downloads" not "installs" there is a huge difference.

So it's pretty much the current 360 and PS3 policies but now you can simply start playing the beginning section of the game earlier. I wonder if you'll be able to download cloud saves as well?

I know with the PS3 you can download the same digital games on two different consoles (used to be 5 but then pubs started fussing at Sony). Wonder if that will change any.

I feel like the last line is the most important bit

A similar system also works on Blu-ray. Chunks are automatically copied to the hard drive in the background, he said. This means that after the first few minutes your game can rely on having faster read speeds from the hard drive, which provides a better experience for players. And this is a completely background process for the player. They dont have to wait for anything to install before playing the game. "The game will launch as soon as the disc has been put in the drive."


So no more installstation 3 :o

Steam did it

and the play as you download thing is very misleading,

they don't tell you that you only download one portion of the game, play it while the other part is downloading.

Good to see you are as uninformed as ever and don't even bother to read the thread.

I read the article, and the thread.

Everyone in the thread is arguing about whether or not it's like Microsoft's family plan, and it's not. The family plan allowed you to log into your own account, and access a friend's library through a shared library of games.

All the article states is that if you go to a friends house you can log into your account, and play your digital titles. Something that is currently available for other platforms.

Yes. Hopefully MS follow suit and copy, like they always do. They are copy our ps plus system, and xbox gamers benefit from it, even if inferior offerings compare to ps3.

I read the article, and the thread.

Everyone in the thread is arguing about whether or not it's like Microsoft's family plan, and it's not. The family plan allowed you to log into your own account, and access a friend's library through a shared library of games.

All the article states is that if you go to a friends house you can log into your account, and play your digital titles. Something that is currently available for other platforms.

Nope, you didn't read the thread, you read what you wanted to read. Me and a couple users more went into detail answering how this (minus the whole download&play thing) has been done on PS3 since forever ago (login into another console, downloading the games, logout, allow your friend to play for as long as he wants and then "deactivate" the console if you want to let another friend do so).

So no, it's not catching up to last gen since what PS4 does, the PS3 already did(since you implied this was not a feature present in Playstation consoles). But hey, you gave it a go ;)

"Deactivating" the console is not something you have to do with etiher the 360 or PC.

I don't know if I'd count exploitable loopholes as the same thing as what the PS4 is going to offer, or what is already offered on Xbox or Steam.

If it was the same thing then why would Sony make any effort to announce this as a feature? You don't have to worry about that kind of thing now. You just simply log into a different console, log in to your account, and play.

You can also start playing BEFORE your download finishes, and it will finish downloading while you play the game that's something PS3 and 360 can NOT do. According to Brown, this feature wont require waiting for an install, either. Whether downloaded digitally or installed from a disc, the first parts of PS4 games will be playable within a few minutes. The system will continue installation in the background during play. This makes a digital library a practical option in the real world, said Brown.

Again nothing new, MS already announced this back in May for Xbox One. People were truly blinded by the DRM monster, they shut out everything else.
