What will you do if PS4 blocks used games?

Do you think developers deserve the cash or do you just see this as greedy publishers taking a step too far.

This is where I stand. I understand development costs are higher and you need sales but no good can come from this. I buy my games brand new but its time these companies realized who is in control here. They seem to push more and more to see what they can get away with.

But how do you feel? Does it not bother you because you buy games new?

Buy new games.

I would hard to digest the situations .mostly because some used games i want are oop now and that my internet is not good enough to download big games. probaby would cause me to buy upcoming games and games that are still brand new( which i dont mind as long as i can find them).

I buy original games, but i'll not buy a PS 4 if it dosen't support PS 3 games :(

I always buy new anyway, so if Sony or MS block used games I wouldn't care.

I would want a company like Gamestop to get a gut check, I hate the way they do business. Buy your game for $5 and sell it for $55, it cheats you and the developer out of money.

I'm concerned about some things that may occur with this rumor of next consoles blocking used games. What happens if I borrow a game from a friend, can I play his copy in my PS4/Next Box? Or what happens when a niche game stops selling new copies, and the only way to play it is by finding a used copy?

With all that being said, I don't think either Sony or MS would block used games. Whoever does, the other doesn't...and whoever doesn't wins.

its been that way on PC for years now...dont see why people see it as such a big issue.If they offer games on a downloadable service aswell i probably wouldnt mind it at all.razgriz_101

I would not buy a PS4.

I only buy new games after a price drop,will make no difference to me.

Laugh, what else can I do?

Doesnt bother me all that much to be fairly honest, maybe games will be a bit more expensive but that'll just make me more picky when it comes to purchases.blackace

thing is though its a similar evolution for consoles, only 10 yearslater.

FFVII copes still cost an arm and a leg btw :P

I find it funny so many people are voting PC gaming, when you can't sell you games on the PC. HarlockJC

I love the fact that console users treat used games like some god given right and are getting their panties in a bunch when things like this happen. Welcome to the real world folks, where used games are looked upon with the same disdain as piracy.clyde46

If we kill used games, then the value of the consoles go down and the economy gets worse. Why do you think there is a retro gaming community that buys these old games and sells them if they need the money for other things?

I'll just stick with the new xbox. fueled-system

Which will block used games.

I don't buy used games or trade in games so this doesn't really bother me.

Not buy it.

PC gaming im saving up right now. Sure you can build a pc for $400 but it wont max out every game and i want the fastest card on the market.

Sony has also filed a patent allowing for in-game advertisements during gameplay. Imagine this along with blocked used game play.

If you thought randomly-placed in-game advertisements were annoying, youd better be sitting down for this one. Its come to light that Sony filed a patent that would implement content-suspending advertisements in video games.

As the patent outlines, players would start playing a game and at some point would be given a warning that a commercial was pending. When its time to watch the ad, the game would be paused and the player would have to sit through the commercial. Once its done, the game would resume where it was paused or a point slightly before the ad took over.

Buy new games.

This. It will cost more but oh well, I don't play too many games on the console anyway...

lol you would go pc gaming which has no used games to get away from a console that blocks used games.

I hate purchasing used games. I don't know who had the game before me.

I still wouldn't like it but if the PS4 gets games I want I will purchase it.
