Sony is planing to introduce a new internet game software system for the playstation 2 games in japan this summer, to prevent illegal copy of the software and resale of used games. CD-Rom or DVD-Rom games can be copied onto the hard drive to speed up the acces time, and in the future, users can also download ps2 software from the internet.  A special mechanism will be used to protect the games from illegal copy and resell.


What about the U.S.A?

to prevent resale of used games

thats foolish

most people cant afford to pay 50$ for games.  i rarely buy games new.  i like paying 20$ for games at the cd wherehouse that are a week old.  i just picked up skies of arcadia and ridge racer 5 today.  let some other dope pay full price, beat the game in 3 days, and dispose of it

You have to take that To prevent copy protection with a grain of salt.  I was told by a guy on SONY\'s 1-800 # that gold-backed DVDs have trouble playing b/c of copy protection.

Later another guy from Sony\'s California team told me that was a lie.

legally in the US I don\'t think they can stop the resale of used games

If you own it its your right to sell it.

I don\'t see them doing this,

but copied games and the original will be targeted
