Had to post this with all the DRM crap PC players have to put up with. Now it's making it's way to consoles.
It seems Capcom, the creators of Final Fight:Double Impact, have taken a page out of Ubisoft's DRM handbook. They are requiring that you be signed into the Playstation Network (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/21/ps3-final-fight-double-impact-requires-psn-connection/) to play the game. The Xbox 360 version will allow you to play online or offline. If you try to play the game on the PS3 without a connection to PSN you get an error that states "Sign into PlayStation Network. (80029516)"
Yes, there is DRM," the admin confirmed. "This was employed to combat the rampant 'PSN Sharing' that has been going on over the last year. We're sorry that your family cannot play the game on their individual accounts (same console). This is a limitation of the Sony network." The message goes on to say that Double Impact's DRM is a trial to "evaluate impact" of the PSN sign-in requirement, which seeks to limit access to the game to the PSN account that purchased the title."
