PlayStation 4 plays used games, says Sony
by Steve Watts, Feb 21, 2013 12:15pm PSTSince the PlayStation 4 cat is officially out of the bag, Sony is seeing fit to squash some persistent rumors about its new console. The system won't require an always-on Internet connection, and Sony has also now confirmed that it won't be blocking you from playing used games.
Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer very plainly that "used games can play on PS4." He said the "general expectation by consumers" is that when they "purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere."
Another source at the event reportedly said that the patent that seemed aimed at blocking used games wasn't ever meant for the PS4 at all. That still leaves the question of what the patent was intended for, but at least it won't stop you from borrowing a friend's game.

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 can play used games, and a patent discovered last month that seemed to imply otherwise wasn't meant for PS4 at all.

I'm a gamefly subscriber, and have been for a while, so I know personally the pain involved in waiting for a popular game on my game queue. People want to play that motherfucker like it's a game featuring Sonic and Mario having a surrogate baby with Master Chief, delivered by Kratos OBGYN. It's hell I say, nobody is giving that sonofabitch up! Now, when a gamestop has 5,000,000 used copies of Dude of Duty 8 at the end of release week, that tells me one thing: That game sold the motherfucking tits off. It also tells me another thing: That game must suck so fucking bad nobody wants it after a fucking week.
So really, no sympathies. Sorry. :(
