A PATENT may allow Sony to ensure that no game would be playable from any console other than the one in which it was first read.

Source: The Inquirer

Hopefully just a rumor (like most inquirer news), but if this is true I really don't see how Sony will be able to compete with Microsoft and Nintendo.

Yeah hopefully just a rumour. If not, I'm sure it will be hacked by someone in no time!

having a patent and using a patent are two different things. Often times companies will patent any idea that floats in their heads, not for the sake of using it themselves but for the sake of charging others who wish to use it. And even if Sony uses this patent with the ps3 they would obviously have a way to transfer license ownership, which will still probably be a pain but what can do, eh?

Excellent news. This will curb piracy and also put a stop to reselling used games which hurts the gaming industry. I was debating on whether to get a 360 or wait for a PS3 but I think I will now go with PS3 because Sony is taking realistic steps to curb piracy.

Support the company people, buy games NEW not used.

Umm what happens if you have two PS3 consoles... do we buy two of the games just because they wont let us use it on the other console?

thats **** man, what if i want to go to my friends house and play my game with a group of people...?

Yea whatever, company man. :rolleyes:

Tell me genius, how are you going to feel about that crap after you amass a good collection of PS3 titles and your system dies after 2 years use? I suppose you're going to tell me tough titty and buy all my games over AFTER I just had to replace my PS3??!!

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
