Lol just opens the market back up to start modding your consoles again. I remember back in the 90s when everyone and their mother was modding their playstation to play burnt japanese games. the guys that were doing it were making 60$ a pop and had customers lined up for months.
This is likely going to have the same effect. hack/mod = profit. kill one market only to open up another.

So did she, she was like "Snaps! I finally killed Diablo" and then I explained that was technically the end of the game...she was disappointed and stopped at Normal. So I'm trying to get her to start a character on Borderlands 2...she likes "loot" games.

there is a ton of cool side quests with pop culture references (teenage mutant ninja turtles, doctor who, top gun etc), and the loot system is so much better than D3's

True, but if you were hooked up to a network (signed into an online account), I would imagine MS and Sony would probably be smart/greedy enough to see if multiple tags/serials were being used on a console and ban it. But that would really only hurt those who game online...UNLESS next gen consoles came with self destruct mechanisms...

I'm too afraid that ninjas are gonna come out of the ceiling and kill me if I do anything for "free", so get everything legit. And since I work for the govt, it makes answering questions background checks easier.

If anything I see this pushing more people toward PC gaming where games are real cheap when they're not brand spanking new and you can always borrow your friends old diablo2 cds to play even when he gets bored of it for free.
Either way this move will definitely put Gamestop and like places out of business. Cash in your stocks now haha.

Why do I say so? From what I have read, most sources indicate that it is for the PS4, additionally, the technology seems to be based on RFID tags or NFC, both of which require new hardware within the console units. Hardware that doesn't exist in the PS3.
So yeah.
