Sony, stupid ideas and closed formats/markets are, alas, a bit too common combinations and sometimes they just go too far, or things just go horribly wrong, e.g. Betamax or the rootkit escapade. But now a rumor has started to spread that Sony is trying to kill off the used game market with Playstation 3 by changing so that you don’t buy the game, but a license to play it. This is not true, Sony has no plans to stop a market of used games but will let consumers buy and sell games as much as they want.
