With the bad press already surrounding the Cross bone or whatever all the cool kids are calling it these days, i think this kind of story is unlikely to make any real impact. If Sony come out and say, "hey kids, there are no used game restrictions and you can give your games to whoever you want" they have won, if they spin the same yarn as MS then it will come down to these kinds of arguments. E3 is going to blow Sony's way this time, Microsoft had a really good chance to knock Sony on its ass and not once, but twice messed it up. All Sony has to do to win this is play the good cop, failing that Nintendo will walk away with another one by default by being the only company without screwed up as hell DRM policies. E3 starts in less than 12 hours, lets see what comes out...
I thought the whole xbox DRM was forced by big publishers onto microsoft. If that's the case, sony will likely have the same DRM in place. If sony doesn't have the DRM & loses the support of Activision, EA, Ubisoft their console will be dead no matter how much internet support it gains.
