doesn't each ps3 have a unique ID for the ps network? what if you could report your ps3 stolen to sony. sony could then develop a online test where the stores can go online with any ps3 put up for resale and check that its a legit sale.

i think the revolution should be criminalised

That's a wii bit harsh.

i think that ther should be more id used for tradeins even if you could do it the way that blockbusters do it were you have to be a member to be able to trade for cash of uther stuff in store as a member you have given them the id like banke statmen so on to join
game you can trade for any thing in store with no id but need photo id if you whant cash
gamestation are the same but then you got a lot of places that you do not need anything
