"Sometime in 2000, Sony patented a process that would 'verify a disc as legitimate, register the disc to that particular game console, then wipe out verification data so the disc would be rendered unreadable in other PlayStations'."
So drop $50 on a game and be unable to take it to a party or friend's house without hauling your console? That sucks. Makes me glad that I can't play thumb-twitchers.
