Sony's UK PR manager Jennie Kong spoke out against the recent rumor that the media monster is planning to restrict sales of used copies of PS3 games.

I would like to clarify that this is false speculation and that PlayStation 3 software will not be copy protected to a single machine but will be playable on any PlayStation 3 console.

Kong then threw a barrel at the nearest journalist and grunted.

The rumor sparked outrage, but very little surprise. After all, Sony's been trying to maintain an umbilical between itself and its released media for quite a while now. The flames still burn over the wreckage of the DRM debacle. Eliza Gauger
