- I guess too many persons are relatively angry with the whole physical discs decision.by pjmlp
- Vast majority don't care and simply want to play video games on their TV with PlayStation. This is only going to cause supply shortage and increased scalping. Annoyance to people who simply want to buy a console and play games. Get a PC and do whatever you want on it. The game ownership bullcrap from Sony (removal of disc bay) is a different problem. People don't realise the console hardware is subsidised and the firmware locks are the way to recoup the costs from Sony walled garden of games. If it becomes a general purpose hardware(more wide spread jailbreaks) Sony will eventually decide to simply sell the hardware at component cost parity and ruin it for everyone. Jailbreakers can't keep it to themselves.

- Maybe telling people they don't own their games and your usage is subject to their whims wasn't the best idea.

by gustavus - Article is wrong about one point, Wolverine is perfectly playable on 13.60 jailbreak. Currently, there are no unsupported titles with jailbreak. The upcoming GTA VI announced that it will require the latest software to be playable.
- Don't poke the bear then by trying to change the definition of ownership and making games download only.by _joel
- I am hoping for the future where we have a law that allows customers to freely choose and install software on the hardware they own.
That thought popped in my mind when I saw mac neo: laptop with the same chip that runs my iphone. But on mac I can install whatever I wish, and on iphone only what apple wishes?
I am hopeful that EU will headline this legislation sometime soon.
- Yeah, all software will be open source software real soon, whether their owners like it or not.by akmarinov
