Sony Releases Instructional Video On Sharing Used Games
Sony one-ups Microsoft during E3 event.
During yesterday's event, Sony talked a lot about upcoming titles for the PS4, services the console would support, and even mentioned a brand new cloud gaming service that it would be launching next year. However, the company also revealed that the PS4 would support used games. It's an issue that's caused quite a bit of controversy for Microsoft, along with the fact that the Xbox One will need to 'check in' with Microsoft via the web once daily. Guess what? Sony's PS4 won't need to do that either.
Of course, confirmation of these facts would be enough to score points with gamers, but Sony went a little further with a video lesson on how to share games with your friends and fellow gamers. Check it out below:

This has been like the best E3 for a long time now, hahaha. Thanks MS for being so inept at making a good product.
Cheers!
