ps4 drm status since e3
1. tretton on stage: you have the right to sell and buy used without restrictions
2. tretton interviewed: publishers can still use drm if they want
3. someone clarifies: tretton was talking about online passes only
4. someone else: online passes aren't allowed either

that's what i gathered while e3 was still going on, dunno what else has been said afterwards on the subject.

The official PS4 sharing video clearly states that sharing disc based (only disc based) games is allowed.

Hope they are not backing down, or it's SNES for me rest o mi life.

A lot of people consider video sharing a big deal. I don't know why it's become. so important, I've never used it before and don't see myself ever using it. If it's something you've never had, how can you miss it?

I wasn't talking about sharing videos, but the video of sharing, borroving and selling/buying used games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA. ;)

Sharing game videos might be nice but doesn't interest me that much.

Ah, gotcha. I know Sony made social networking a big deal, and all I could think is "I don't care."

I like the sharing video features.  I don't know how many times I'll have friends ask me how to do certain parts of games.  Now, instead of trying to tell them and explain it and failing and repeating over and over, I can simply show them.  Sure, it's nice for them to figure it out on their own, but I occasionally have more free time than they do, so it's much easier for them this way.  And then sometimes after knowing how to do it, they'll find an easier part.

It's also useful for things like easter eggs, now when found, you can easily share it with friends or the world.  Like the video on Youtube doing a complete breakdown analysis of the Metal Gear Solid V trailer, where you can see tons of interesting, odd and confusing stuff if you pay attention everywhere.

Hmm... that didn't work so well. That's supposed to be an embedded tweet of the Destiny cover art for PS4.

The only thing I cared about PS4 is, is it backwards compatible? Will it play my PS1 games? and I don't think it is... so I'm not buying it.  :'(

No it is not.

But If I understood correctly nearly all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games are or will eventually be playable from cloud server.
Hopefully with monthly fee allowing unlimited access.

I expect we'll have to buy the game a second time to have it on our profile - similar to what Steam offers.

Why would you pay $400 for a PS1?

You missed the point of my comment completely :P As much as I like collecting consoles ... I don't see the point of having a PS1, PS2, PS3 and  PS4 all wired up in my game room to play whenever wished. I want to stay updated and buy a PS4 to play new released games, don't get me wrong, it's just annoying to see new generation models not supporting their predecessors. I didn't even mention Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One either ...

For now, my first PS3 Model CECHE01 does the job - for most games.

Making the PS4 backwards compatible with previous versions would only increase the cost of the system. Even at $400 Sony is losing money with each unit sold.

If you're going to let the lack of backwards compatibility prevent you from playing next gen games, good luck to you.

How certain are you with that statement? PS3 and PS4 hardware are only improvements, barely any changes.
