I didnt care.

Didn't care!!? Do you understand the implications of such a move?  What if Microsoft agreed to do this as well?
What would you say then?

Would you have still wanted it if it was ONLY going to play new games that you've purchased from the store, and nothing else? No imports, no used games, no friends games', no nothing? Cuz that's what the DRM was rumoured to do. I'm not sure if tekken is worth sacrificing my rights as a consumer. After the rootkit, Sony's capable of anything.

am...do i really have repeat myself myself? i buy consoles for games i want and nothing else. thats not sacrificing my right as a consumer, is my choice.
for instance, i waited on tekken5 and gt4 to come out and then buy my ps2 and both games original. i never played them on another ps2 console and i wouldn't lend them if my life depended on it.
not much different than if this DRM was used for the ps2 now is it. i would basically be doing the same thing i'm doing now just i wont be lending any of my other games too which is no scene and i don't borrow games from partners either, nor do i join the clubs.

after reading that u should at least understand that DRM  or no DRM means nothing to me
