Its time for some more PS3 Bashing. Why you ask? Because sony might put "New Technology" into their 600 dollar console.

So this new technology doesnt allow you to play rented, borrowed, or used video games! I mean come on thats dumb. I mean what is sony thinking. First it was the high price, now its not allowing you to play used video games?!

The current poll was found at G4 TV

"Would you buy a ps3 if this new technology was installed"

83% No

17% Yes

Sony please stop destorying the hearts of your loving Fans!

wow thats a old bogus rumor.............
Posted Jul 11, 2006 1:45 pm PT
i gave up on Sony a LONG time ago.... acually once they released the price tag of the ps3 i started to hate sony...... so it doesnt matter if they installl it or not because im not getting that crap!
Posted Jul 11, 2006 1:46 pm PT
Wow, that just dashed all thought of getting a PS3. That's just stupid!
Posted Jul 11, 2006 1:57 pm PT
I think this rumor was proved worng some time ago... even if it wasn't, Sony isn't as stupid and suicidal as many of you think.

Still, I admit the price tag is keeping me off
Posted Jul 11, 2006 2:11 pm PT
uhhh... This rumor was released a couple days ago, so it isnt that old
Posted Jul 11, 2006 2:32 pm PT
Maybe it has been re-leaked. But I remember hearing about it a long time ago.

I still don't believe it to be true. Used games market is too big for Sony to just forbid it. It's true that they don't get any money for used games, but people doing it are too many, it wouldn't be convenient for them to took it out completely.

i heard that rumor long ago, I dunno if it's bogus or not. I wonder if the quality of the games will make up for it.
Posted Jul 11, 2006 8:38 pm PT
If that's true then Sony has officially lost the plot.

runemaster190, this rumor is months old. It's false, i even remenber gamespot said it was bogus in one of their news article months ago. PS3 will play the games you borrow from your friend or games that you rent.
Posted Jul 12, 2006 4:39 am PT
Whoa!!! Well this rumor is new to public tv
Posted Jul 12, 2006 8:46 am PT
nobody proved it was bogus, they just refused to believe it, and everyone followed
Posted Jul 12, 2006 9:55 am PT
the price is the only reason i dont buy one.
(when they come out)

Listen to automaticsnake! We both go to the PS3 forums frequently and i can guarantee you that this rumor was false and was denied by Sony itself a very long time ago!
This G4 TV apparently has some kind of quest against PS3 because all they have done lately is dig up old and false rumors. Some people have said that this channel belongs to Microsoft in some way, therefor i wouldn't trust them. The PS3 will play used, rented and borrowed games, that is a fact, if it didn't playstation would die and Sony is not stupid enough to dig up its own grave!
Posted Jul 12, 2006 10:49 am PT
You cant guarantee that dude. And G4 TV has nothing against the ps3, in fact the other way around.... And come on Microsoft hasnt said anything about sony but sony on the other hand has been trashing both the wii and xbox 360. Not to make sony sound bad, but they also have made many mistakes while creating the ps3
Posted Jul 12, 2006 11:33 am PT
I can guarantee it because it was officialy denied by SONY, not some other site, tv or whatever! SONY, you know..... the company that makes playstations. I'll try to find a link as proof to post here later.
Sony has made mistakes, that's true but don't tell me that MS (not Nintendo) hasn't said anything bad about PS3, come on, that is not true!
Posted Jul 12, 2006 11:57 am PT
Well ok, so microsoft has said "minor" things about sony...... Truth be told though its quite clear that the Wii is going to win the console wars.
Posted Jul 12, 2006 11:59 am PT
Here it is, read the update.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=23921409

You can't say that the Wii will win the console war, not without proof and you can't prove that this early because none of the consoles are being sold yet.
We just have to wait and see.
Posted Jul 12, 2006 12:18 pm PT
Yeah thats the article i was talking about. PS3 will play borrowed and used games, case closed.
Posted Jul 12, 2006 12:46 pm PT
Come on dude. Though I cant prove anything "yet". The wii has been getting the most spot light.

Posted Jul 12, 2006 12:46 pm PT
Believe it or not, that's your problem. I have seen everything i need to prove the rumor wrong and also common sense to back it a little.
About the Wii, sure it will sell a lot in the beginning because it is cheap and because it is innovative but people will get tired of it and the graphics don't help anything, they look like Gamecube's! Now be honest, do you really see yourself playing with that Wiimote ALL the time? I know i don't!
Posted Jul 12, 2006 1:10 pm PT
uhhh... "Though I cant prove anything "yet" " I was talking about the wii.........

The wii's graphics are more powerful then you think. Resident evil 4 proved that the game cube's graphics were more powerful too.....

So yah I think we will be fighting about this all week so lets just end it.....
Posted Jul 12, 2006 1:15 pm PT
You edited your comment. I was referring to what you said about the other sites on the rumor subject.
Also, i'm not fighting, i think we're just having a conversation but i will not discuss it anymore if you don't want to. It's your blog and you run this place, so your wishes are my commands!
Posted Jul 12, 2006 1:26 pm PT
this guy taking about the Wii now, wasn't we talking about the old bogus rumor that was proved to be wrong? lol
Posted Jul 12, 2006 1:33 pm PT
I can talk about whatever i want!
Posted Jul 12, 2006 2:07 pm PT
I repeat, I will wait to see what will happens
Posted Jul 16, 2006 12:24 am PT
if thats real... it is going to stink lol..(i usually wait till games are sold used, or just a price drop lol...)) and what happens if you buy a new game, play and play and play it, then one day it reads it as a used game? and doesnt work lol... and i will feel bad for blockbuster and other video game renting places lol
