This is actually old as fuck and if I remember, pretty standard for companies to do that.

Is this new? Or just old nonsense that can't really be enforced?

I tried to sell my game to a mate today but it was a sting operation. I’ve known the guy since high school, didn’t know he was a fed.

It's old af yet they took time to update it to include PS5 software and apparently that specific part of the ToS is only for EU + UK region as NA doesn't have it. What gives?

IIRC this (or something like it, anyway) has been in there for years.
For example, the small print on the back of my physical copy of Bloodborne also includes "RESALE AND RENTAL ARE PROHIBITED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORISED BY SCEE".

It's OK. I have express written consent by the NFL to broadcast and distribute this game.

7.1. You must not resell either disc-based games or digital games, unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.

Do you guys just bait this shit out or are you actually intentionally being dense?
This shit has been in the industry for FOREVER. The thing is nobody actually enforces it (and rightfully so) because its a legal battle waiting to happen if they did.
GameStop has sold used games for like 20+ years, use your brain for a minute to realize how utterly meaningless this is to bring up.

Holllly shit M$ won’t even let me gift one of their games for Xmas!pretty sure this is probably in most consoles TOS, license non transferable blah blah nonsense.
having said that someone go search microsofts TOS and find something similar and the thread will hit 1000 pages in 5 minutes flat
g) share, publish, distribute, or lease the software, provide the software as a stand-alone offering for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.
Dunno what you mean sorry. Never heard of Game Stop. Is that Sony’s enforcement team?Do you guys just bait this shit out or are you actually intentionally being dense?

Yep, they'll learn the hard way. You need strong competition to keep these manufacturers in check. No competition is always a hellscape.

Slow news day? Thats not new.
In my country every game comes with a seal in the box with the copy and registration number on it, to sell it legally even in second hand the game must come with that seal.
Sony cant do nothing to prevent the sales of used physical games, other than some kind of digital DRM. By law in my country you are alowed to resell your used physical games as long as they have that seal in it. The seal prevents the renting of the game, but not the sale. Even if in the box is printed in english that the game cant be resold or rented without Sony authorisation.
The seal is that stripe on top of the box.

Since when? I haven't heard anyone say they want Nintendo out. Microsoft on the other hand...

Says similar on PS2 games. My Xbox games just say no copying etc., not resale though. But the resale clause is moot because it's never been enforced nor ever will be.

That "NOT FOR RESALE" copy of Sonic was a pack-in game and there's no UPC on the back of the box, meaning a retailer cannot scan it.
