“It’s quite simple – every game will come with a game-specific, one-time use registration code with each unit sold new at retail,” So what do you think? I know several people that purposely wait for used games or price drops to save money. On the other hand, the developers lose money each time a game is sold used. Its quite the double edged sword, but as a gamer, I will not be buying any EA Sports games used going forward. I know Madden 10 did something like this already. So even borrowing the game from a friend will cost you $10. Read the full story at Edge-online

Well it seems this is now completely confirmed. We had previous information spilled when some voice actors announced some of their job listings. In an issue of Playstation The Official Magazine, it even said they have sources saying it will be released this year! Infamous was one of my favorite games this generation and I’m personally looking forward to its sequel. The music score, the sandbox world, the missions everything were amazing. I just hope they touch up the graphics some and I’ll be ready to go again! Registrant: SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA INC.

So, apparently, No Fuss Reviews had surveyed 500,000 people (via visitors being randomly surveyed that come from search engines; they also used measures to reduce duplicate submissions) on whether their consoles had failed and how many times they needed to get repaired or replaced. Well, here are the results of the survey: 42% of 360s?! I know, personally, I’m on my third one. PS3 being at 8% isn’t too bad, though. Wii’s is very low, but is that because it’s really well built or people just don’t play it enough? Anyway, they had follow-up questions as well, concerning how many times they needed to be repaired/replaced. Those numbers can be seen after the bump. They kind of make you wonder how many 360 sales are due to multiple purchases because of faults as well. More than once: 360: 55% PS3: 12% Wii: 0% More than two times: 360: 39% PS3: 8% More than three times: 360: 12% PS3: 2% More than 4 times: 360: 6% PS3: 1% More than 5 times: 360: 3% PS3: 1% Source
