It appears that the news has been out for a while, but underreported. It appears that Sony is going to enforce its NO-Resell policy for PS3 Games. It has informed large game distributers that they are forbidden to resell Used PS3 games. Sony views this as a profit loss for itself.

Apparently, as a consumer when you shell out your $60-80 per game, you are only buying the LICENCE to PLAY the game, not actually own the game. It appears that Sony has developed technology to "tag" the game to a specific console. This would disable the game from being used on different consoles, either by using at a friends house, or selling it to a game store for credit.

Great plan on Sony's part. Sony has issued some rather innoucus rebuttles, but has not conclusivly said that they will not be enforcing the ban on resell.

Way to go Sony! I hope you enjoy whatever game you buy to play, because apparently it will be yours forever!
