[h2]Sony’s Answer To PS3 Piracy: Serial Codes?[/h2]
Dutch website claims Sony will introduce PC-like unique code system to thwart PS3 pirates.
Sony will respond to the recent publication online of PlayStation 3’s root keys by shipping new games with a unique serial code.
Dutch website PS3-Sensesays a source has told them that all future PS3 game discs are to carrya unique code, with players forced to input it onto the system for thegame to launch. The source claims a similar system already exists onSony’s online service, PlayStation Network.
The code can reportedly be used up to five times, a move that willnot only prevent piracy but will also impact on the increasing trade inpre-owned games, as retailers will have no idea how many times a codehas been used when a customer tries to trade the game in.
Sony have been forced into the move after iPhone hacker GeoHot discovered and published online the PS3’s root keys, enabling developers – and pirates – to sign unauthorised code as genuine Sony software.
While the introduction of serial codes would theoretically get roundthis problem, its success in the long term is another matter entirely;a similar system has been used for PC games for years and has hardlyproven secure. Should hackers find a way round it, the only loserswould be those who buy legitimate games that they cannot trade in orsell on, encumbered by DRM.

Mortal Kombat is back. It's worth it, plus whatever else Sony drops in 3 months (IE: LA Noire demo) ill rep the benefits too.

with all the hints its looking like Grand theft auto: vice city 2
How do you get vice city 2 out of that?
"You all know about that IGN guy Jim Reily who said in his tweet "Heard some interesting things about the next Grand Theft Auto last night."
What he was trying to say was that he was there and and witnessed it all
The next Grand Theft Auto game is currently being discussed and being shown behind closed doors at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
And the reason for anyone not saying anything is becuse everyone there signed an agreement. Thats about all he was able to say and if he would have said more he would break the NDA."

If you're jonesing to see more of DICE's next, super-pretty shooter Battlefield 3, you should strike while the iron's hot -- by which we mean "before the iron gets pulled from YouTube." Check out some shakycam footage from the developer's GDC presentation posted after the jump.

Wow is Bulletstorm really that bad where it's not selling well and it's already being dropped to the $39 price range? The game has just been out for 3 weeks.
Amazon has it for their deal of the day today for all consoles:
