Can the PS4 play pre-owned games? Yes it can!

Fear not bargain hunters and trade-in people. Sony have confirmed that the newly announced PlayStation 4 will not block pre-owned games. In an interview with Eurogamer, Sony Worldwide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida revealed that the PS4 could indeed play used games.

There’s been much rumour and speculation that either the PS4 or next Xbox or both would employ technology to block pre-owned games. Sony patented technology recently that showed it could attach specific discs to one user, while EDGE sources claims the next Xbox requires an always-on Internet connection in order to block used games. While the Xbox may still block them we can now be certain that the PS4 will do no such thing.

Are you breathing a sigh of relief?
