Joystiq is reporting on a Sony patent that could easily be used to stop games being used on any system other than the one it was originally loaded on.
I would have though it might be of more use in a large hard disk based home entertainment system, buy your disk, load it in your system and then throw it. Still, it's potentially yet more fuel for the anti-Sony, anti-DRM fan boys.
Does Sony plan to employ this technology in the PlayStation 3? Not likely. If so, PS3 owners would not be able to rent (used) games or borrow their friends' games—or even purchase used games! Sure, the technology could be used for Blu-Ray movies, but for games? It just won't go down like that… right?
