PlayStation 4 will not block pre-owned games - Sony exec confirms.
After a long period of speculation regarding the PlayStation corp's stance on pre-owned games, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told sources that used games can function on the next generation system.
But he did not confirm whether PlayStation 4 customers would have 'original owner rights' to second hand games, or whether users might need to pay for online passes or other such rights.
"The general expectation by consumers is, if they purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation."

I was sure they wouldn't block the ability to use pre-owned games, it would just be a disastrous business move on their behalf. As for the comment regarding online passports, I would assume that it would only apply to the games developed by companies which currently make use of online passports.

It's an excellent move, seeing as the 720 won't. So far.

If I was to buy a next-gen console, this would be the thing that would make me want to buy a PS4 over an Xbox!
