Playstation 3 = No Rented or Borrowed Video Games?!?
Sony might be pulling a real
boneheaded stunt by making the
Playstation 3 unable
to play borrowed or
rented games! You'll need to
register each game you buy with your
PS3 and then it won't play on any other PS3. So you can't loan it to a friend or anything. Think this is a lame rumor?
