So I've been following a few sites for a few years now and they have a relatively good reputation with rumours I mean I know these are merely rumours but it seems both Sony and Microsofts next gen console will feature new anti piracy systems and anti second hand systems.

Ok firstly I cannot afford almost £50 a pop per new release (On average there are between 2 and 6 games I want a year) I get one full game a year if I'm good for christmas, I have family so money is prioritised everywhere else, of course I know I'm not the only one, but I do pick up several games each year from the second hand racks. I dont mind as the games I really want I do buy new either eventually or while they are on offer.

So apparently Sonys new "Orbis" (ps4) console will lock the game to 1 PSN account then locking out the game for anyone else who wants to play, (unless of course they pay for the unlock code) this is a bit extreme as me and a friend often trade games between the two of us this allows us both to play a wider variety of games and lower the cost of gaming. But XBOX have gone one step further and will not even have a drive :shock: this has to be a bold move going fully digital? Will they have EVERY XBOX and XBOX 360 game available for download then? Will Sony follow suit and go drive less? It is also rumoured that unless your PS4 is connected to the internet you cant activate your brand new game you just bought! I see this concept been REAL unfair!

And above all this what really annoys me is I paid over £200 for my PS3 a sound investment for many years of gaming and entertainment enjoyment and I still cannot play my repotoire of PS2 games, this aggravates me no end as my PS2 finally gave up the ghost leaving me with over 50 ps2 titles I can no longer play (at least legitimately I do have a way but it's often frowned upon) But you can create a PS2 memory card? And supposedly the old software based PS2 emulator from the older console is still buried within the firmware.
