High street games shops have been told by Sony that there will be no PS3 pre-owned sections in their stores as it will be illegal for customers to sell any next-gen PlayStation games that they've bought, retail sources have revealed to GamesRadar.
It seems that Sony is planning to adopt a licensing system that will mean gamers won't own the PS3 titles that they've paid money for. Instead, they will only be purchasing the licence to play the game and that the software itself will still be Sony property - meaning that the disc won't be the customer's to sell.
We assume that the thinking behind this move will ultimately be to stop PS3 games being resold several times - which currently snatches potential sales away from Sony - and to counter the impression in consumers' minds that games are only really worth their pre-owned price and are not worth buying new.
When we contacted Sony, it issued us with the following statement: "We have made all of the official announcements at E3 and cannot make any further comments at this time. We will be announcing more news running up to PlayStation 3's launch."

Business tactics are wierd. I took a class in it, and wells lets say what they are doing right now are trying to boost sales into buying it from the stores so they can get more money, but what they are really doing is losing sales. I love getting my stuff from hockshops. They are less pricely, and even though they are used, they still work. I got my pS2, kingdom hearts, two paddles, for 100 bucks. I though it was cheap. I would have cost me, over 200 to buy it in the stores. This is just werid on what they are doing. They are only looking at one side of the story.
Robin Sena:
Well, seeing that Sony has alot of money to burn, I'll wait and see what happens.
Hmm... somehow I feel sick today, but I'm really not.
