On December 9th, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan made a patent application for their discs.
According to the information received, the technology would allow console to attach games to themselves. The discs would come with a contactless tag, which would be written the first time the game was used in a console. This way, next time the disc was inserted in a console, the ID in the disc would be compared to the ID in the console, and the game only would run if both were the same.
This patent presents some problems. What happens if you console breaks? Or if you have more than one console? And retail stores would have a big business problem.
Anyways, Sony hasn't confirmed anything about this, so it is possible that this technology never gets used.
