Rumor: Future PS3 Titles To Have Serial Codes To Prevent Piracy
According to the Dutch site PS3-Sense, a source claims that Sony is to introduce a PC-like unique serial code system on future PS3 titles to thwart PS3 piracy.
The source also claims that a similar system already exists on Sony’s online service, PlayStation Network.
If it is true, the users will have to input a code for their purchased game to unlock and play.
The source says that the code will work up to five times, which could also impact how the trade-in games business will handle those titles.

@Fahim,
I ain’t much into science fiction. Mafia 2 surely doesn’t deserve game of the year but some other awards.
Feb 13th, 2011 at 1:11 am
*some other awards are well deserved by Mafia 2..I mean just cause mafia 2 doesn’t have online doesn’t mean the game is bad.
Feb 13th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
@ xlivnt….
yes mafia 2 deserves some awards like best story and voice acting etc………and these days online gaming is a big factor bcoz it adds more value to the game…..we can buy games whneva we want bcoz of piracy but ppl in other countries dnt have such good luck 😛 😛 😛

Feb 13th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
@Fahim,
well i guess your right, moreover Mafia 2 doesn’t have that open world feeling. But it definitely deserves the best story award.
