It's not just giving up your rights to a class action suit, but also the right to SUE them in court. It binds you to arbitration, which is a non-lawful process (my wording might be misleading there, an out of court process) whereby your case is determined by a mediator. Just an FYI, I could be that mediator, and I could decide that you have no case, no matter what information you provide. In that case your next recourse is the courts, which you can no longer use as you've waived your rights to sue in court. Welcome to binding arbitration.
Wait people are now required to hack the PS3 to play games? The terms have absolutely nothing to do with any changes to how games are played, it's about people who feel the need to sue Sony and try and fill their own pockets.
Actually John, no. I am unable to use my system today, in the same fashion as yesterday, which includes me watching Netflix (the only real reason i go online with the system) without signing away ANY right i have as a consumer. I had no interest in modding my system before (well, it did cross my mind when i was playing GTA4 with the LONG load times, that if i had a modded box i could at least put it on the HDD which would increase the load speed) but now will have to research it so that i can continue to use it to watch Netflix without PSN, if that's even possible.
This is absolutely atrociuos treatment of customers. Thank you for the template, however i believe my days with sony will now be over. they are leaving users no choice but to A) have no rights or B) hack the systems in order to get some functionality. Did you read that you also no longer purchase any content, it is simply licensed and thus, not yours. They can revoke your access to a movie you've paid for through them at any time AND for any reason. These broad 'sweeping' rights in favour of the company are part of the reason they were targeted already. I will most likely be moving my system to a modded version, but i DO hope that sony is again targeted by some of the groups that showed the world how little sony cares for their customers data.
