You know, the irony is this is Sony, freaking Sony, being heralded the champion of the consumer. Has hell frozen over?
I fully expect Microsoft to pull a dick move after dick move every chance they get, because you know, its Microsoft. It's in their DNA. And frankly, Sony's too. I just assumed Sony would be as anti used game, DRM friendly as Microsoft is in this new generation. Kudos to them for bucking that expectation.
Well, hell, eventually when Betamax failed Sony started making VHS decks too. If there's money to be made no company's going to stand on pride and run themselves into the ground.
