Details about Sony's new PSN DRM |
Ó
With the PlayStation Network version of Warhawk, Sony has added a few amendments to its PSN download policies. While PlayStation 3 owners used to be able to purchase a PSN title and download it to four other PS3 units - essentially sharing the game with other PS3 owners - Warhawk's DRM will make the game tied to the original purchaser's PSN account.GameSpot recently spoke to a Sony representative to get more info on the new DRM policy. According to the Sony rep, the game can still be downloaded to other PS3 units, but it will only be playable under the original purchaser's account. The rep also noted that those who use the original account on a different machine "could not play on a different machine for 24 hours."
Future PSN titles will also be evaluated in terms of development costs, maintenance costs, server costs and other factors. These will be used to determine which DRM policy will be implemented for a particular game. The development costs for Warhawk, for example, is "no different than any other boxed game you might find from SCEA at retail". That along with its free online gameplay environment were the major causes for the implementation of the new DRM.

Im shocked they allow any titles to be shared...
Doing it for something like this game would be financial suicide.
How Do You Share Games..?
Its g4y.. my friend dosnt use the account dat he bought Warhawk on. He only uses it to buy stuff.
just log on to your account on another ps3 and re-download the game to that ps3. bam, now your friend has the game.
you must create a new user an the other ps3 and use the same PSN network. But the other PS3 can know you credit card number...
Finally they did something about that problem its better to have people buy the game so that they can support the game industry.
It only makes sense. I mean. Massive games like warhawk... really can't get shared around, the dev team would never get their money for their hard work.
yeah, because five maps counts for a massive game now a days. lol. btw warhawk sucks, but of course you knew that because its on ps3.
Only thing that sux here it the comment you just made, AoxomamoxoAss.
go back to the 360 portion of qj man stop trolling the ps3 boards. your comments are just stupid and biased. Get a ps3 and a wii and then you can start ranting about stuff that you know about from experience.
I have a PS3 (PSN ID: AoXomAmoXoA), so therefore I know what Im talking about. But thanks for trying!
" I have a PS3 (PSN ID: AoXomAmoXoA), so therefore I know what Im talking about. But thanks for trying!"
Haha no you still don't know what your talking about, you can BS out of a trash can for sure but other than that you don't know anything. If you had a PS3(which we all know your Full of it, and lying) you would know how awesome the PS3 is and the great games its coming.
Warhawk is a good game that im looking forward too.
I truly hope for your sake that Halo 3 is better than Halo 2 cause all that game was a same game with a few new weapons and online play to Halo 1. And trust me Halo 2 was the same as the first and didn't live up to its name. Halo 3 better be good other wise it will go down nothing more than a copy and paste game, with better graphics. And also i have played Halo 1 and 2 so i do know what im talking about and anyone who has knows what im saying as well, besides biased xbox fanboys like you and MCS.
