Their methods are extremely draconic and rather knee-jerk, in my opinion.
They don't like the used-games market so they decide to block access to this entire industry. They want you to spend more money to play individual PS3 or PS2 games, as well, so no backwards compatibility.
All they're doing is alienating the people who've played and loved their consoles for years (I'm not one of them, by the way).
The complaints made by developers and companies like Sony or Nintendo towards the used-games market is, in my opinion, absolutely pathetic. I'm sure that the companies who make furniture or computers hate seeing their work and effort being sold on eBay but guess what, it happens, and they don't bitch nearly as much as these self-entitled (oh yes, I'm using that word here) ignorant developers do.
Make good games and maybe we'd be less inclined to buy them second-hand. Remove DRM and maybe we'd be less inclined to pirate them, too. See, if they did a little bit of research and tried a little bit to understand they'd find they'd save so much more money a year than they do now.
