I was going to reply that is was the Doctor, but someone could type faster than me. Unfortunately they didn't note that the person is the 15th Doctor's companion. "When" I'm typing this from, we're on the 15th one. "Googletime" beta tester

Final Fight Brings Restrictive DRM To the PS3 240

Posted by Soulskill on Friday April 23, 2010 @03:38AM from the let's-blame-ubisoft dept.

Channard writes "As reported by Joystiq, the PS3/PlayStation Network version of Final Fight Double Impact features a rather restrictive piece of digital rights management. In order to launch the game, you have to be logged into the PlayStation Network and if you're not, the game refuses to launch. This could be written off as a bug of some kind except for the fact that the error message that crops up tells you to sign in, suggesting Sony/Capcom intentionally included this 'feature.' Granted, you do have to log into the PlayStation Network to buy the title but as one commentator pointed out, logging in once does not mean you'll be logged in all the time. Curiously, the 360 version has no such restrictions, so you can play the game whether you're online or offline. But annoying as this feature may be, there may be method in Sony's madness. "
