Sony's Jack Tretton confirmed on stage that the PS4 will have no DRM and no used game restrictions. Which means you can freely play your single-player games offline and you can sell, trade and lend your games.

They even put out a fun little instructional video.

The PS4 will retail on launch at £349/$399.

And in one fell swoop Sony won the modern day console war.

Pretty nifty looking piece of tech its pretty pricey but at least cheaper than X1, I may wait a few months before getting it though see if it drops in price.

It's a little pricey but I'm glad they learned their lesson after the PS3. Retailing it at $600 on release nearly ruined them because people just couldn't afford it and there wasn't anything to really justify it. There seems to be a certain kind of arrogance that comes with a company's third console. The Sega Saturn, the PS3 and now the Xbox One. Sega Jaguar was a failure for Sega with a horrible controller, but they learned their lesson with the Saturn but unfortunately charged it at $600. Then Sony released the PS1 at a fraction of the price and Sega was severely damaged by it. The PS3 was too expensive but Sony recovered.The Xbox One is nothing but failure compared to the PS4, and I really can't see MS recovering from this. The PS4 is smaller, and most likely lighter. Cheaper, no DRM and no used games restrictions. I could go on.

From the last statement I heard its not entirely true & they actually revealed that it will be up to the publishers.
