[RUMOR] Sony claims Piracy can be fixed with a CD key?

**boblikescats** · 01-20-2011,06:53 PM

PS3 Piracy at an end?*|*Just Push Start

Article claims Sony will implement a cd key system to authenticate the discs, with only up to 5 uses.

I don't think this will work at all and if they do implement this some workaround will surely be found.

Where did Sony make this claim?

**boblikescats** · 01-20-2011,07:10 PM

The link to skfu apparently points nowhere other than their main page. It does not have a article on this. It must just be a rumor guys.

EDIT: Also apparently i missed this thread: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f118/son...cd-keys-77057/ (Sony to begin making people use cd keys?)

Umm what would they do about rentals? Doesn't look like a good idea.

Blockbuster? 20 bucks says that the US bails them out.

Anyway, yeah, this would never happen without some sort of volume license deal for Blockbuster, which people would just copy anyway...
