Last night at E3 Sony seriously undercut its main rival, Microsoft in the console war.
A PS4 UK price was announced at £349 for the UK – $399 in the US. The undercuts Microsoft’s Xbox One
by £80, with the console costing £429 in the UK and $499 in the US.

Looking at those UK and US prices we can’t help but feel a little shortchanged.
The PS4’s $399 is around £256, while the Xbox One’s $499 is £320.

The rumours say Sony may not be taking such a draconian line on second-hand games.
In an interview, Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida said to Eurogamer
that “… used games can play on PS4.” Though it was hardly the most detailed and
unequivocal answer – and we suspect that the final decision will be left in the hands of publishers.

Sony filed a patent late last year that could mean the PS4 won’t play used or second hand games.
The patent, US Patent Application 20130007892, describes “a game playing system including a use permission tag
provided for use in a game disk for a user of a game, a disk drive, and a reproduction device for reproducing the game.
” Essentially, this means that a device similar to an RFID or or near-field communication (NFC) tag built into the game
disc would tie it to a particular console or console user.

FUCK ‘EM, yea get a PC!
