It's exactly the same as the way you activate XP, and authorise a machine for iTunes. I'll be the first to lambast Sony's rootkit copy protection, but this is not remotely the same thing, despite what some overexcited people on the net have been ranting about. Sure, it sucks that they feel they have to do it, but if you expect anyone to release PC games without some kind of copy protection now, you're deluding yourself. The issue is what mechanism they use, and this one is a relatively light touch. Yes, it means you can't sell your game on if you've used up the 5 (!) activations, without using the 'deactivate' feature (again like iTunes) which is soon to be released, or calling customer support anyway. Personally I don't usually sell on games and Bioshock is never leaving my shelf. I think you're letting an over-zealous viewpoint stop you playing what it probably the best PC game in a long, long time. The online ranting about this particular copy protection is way out of proportion with the reality. Like a lot of things on Digg and online forums of course ;) Yes, it[/quote]
