Does getting a disc even matter anymore? Whether you install the game from the internet or from a disc, they can still yank your license. I hope I'm wrong about that...
yes they can, if you need to download the game from the internet. Even though you paid for it they have the legal right to take it away from us. and charge us more money for another version of the same game, on newer console. forcing us to buy a new consoles, and a new digital game.
However I think that taking away our games once we paid is a violation of consumer rights. But they might have some excuse MORE ON THE NEXT POST
and say________Well I guess you should have read our extremely long Licences agreement before buying.
however you can back them up with a large external harddrive, but on the PlayStation 3. it won't copy most of the game's patches off onto your back up harddrive unless you somehow hack into it. and force the PS3 to copy everything onto another PlayStation 3.
Once the PS3 server closes down the only way you can continue to play and not have a broken games is to update each and every game on the PlayStation 3 online while the servers are still open. and pray you console does not brake.
The (NA) Red Greatest Hits PS3 games have a more current patch on the disc itself. But some still are broken by just using the disc and not downloading the latest patch.
It sounds like SONY might be taking away our patches on the PS3.
If that happens then a lot of our PlayStation 3 game discs will only be able play a broken video games.
