Playstation details new plan to combat piracy on the PSP.
In a recent interview with gaming website IGN, John Koller, a Sony Hardware Marketing Director, detailed new plans to help combat piracy on Sony’s portable system, the PSP (Playstation Portable).
IGN reported that the plan calls for:
Those who purchase SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 are now required to register the title through PlayStation Network before given access to online gameplay. UMD copies of the game will come with a voucher code that must be redeemed online, while digital copies will automatically register in the background. Those who buy a used copy of the UMD can purchase a PSN entitlement voucher for $20 to play online.
It’s also a move designed to both counter piracy and ensure a revenue stream from games even if they are sold in the secondary market.
