I can see why they'd allow one of their R&D people to develop something like that, especially with the worry about piracy and maintaining intellectual properties. I also think they're very smart for not having implemented it. I can see several disastrous possibilities in that regard, not the least of which is what happens if your old PS/PS2/PS3 dies and you get a new one? Then you'd have to buy the games all over again. Plus it'd hurt the rental and used game markets. I would be very surprised if the end result of that wouldn't be giving their competition a helluvan advantage. I've never seen Sony be that stupid in terms of how they conduct their business.
