All I can say is: yay!

Who wants to pay more in order to own a movie they probably already own on DVD, with lesser quality, in a format that can only be played on a specific piece of equipment, and which can’t even be connected to a TV. At GDC I asked the Sony reps if they planned on releasing the devices they used at the booth to display PSP games on TVs, and they said those were test kits and that such a device was not in the works.

I’m still hopeful that all this DRM craze will die someday, and companies will go back to giving value to the consumers instead of removing it. When we buy something, we want to OWN it and we want to use it in any way that’s technically possible!

Edit: I still find it hard to believe that Sony is removing region codes for PS3 games. There’s gotta be a catch somewhere.
