Sony asks gamers to sign new terms or face PSN ban

[Lungzyn]

^That was the first major problem they had, wasn't it? Not too sure of the history, I just got a ps3 in April of this year...Not bad for a free service.
Anyway it's not like I was ever going to sue them so I don't really care.

Did you already sign something to begin with?

They can't just change things at will.

What does the original contract say?
Also, did you pay when you first signed up?

The original TOS will have some sort of line saying that the TOS can and will be updated in the future. They didn't even HAVE to do it so people have to push the button agreeing, they could have said in the original that by clicking yes the customer agrees to all future TOS updates.

It's just that having players click yes once again with the new clause in the TOS, that it might stand up better in court if someone decides to challenge the new clause if a new security breech crops up.

The only people opposed to this, are the people that oppose to everything. Fuck big brother!!! I don't want people telling me how to game, play online, etc!!! Fuck big brother!!!

:1orglaugh Pathetic.

This is how it will go.

Sony - Hey, don't sue us if some idiot hacks us again.

Me - O.k. *clicks agreement*

Me - I continue playing my games and having fun as usual.

It's such a pain in the ass being a console gamer, no?

I've never taken my console online to begin with so it's no big deal to me. But putting myself in the shoes of those who do go online with their console, it would annoy me to no end. The sheer arrogance and ignorance of Sony towards their customers is nothing short of amazing. These fucking bastard sons of cunts are more or less to blame for their massive attack they got through how they deal with customers. I mean look at Microsoft it's got like fifty zillion viruses that attack Windows and how many attack Linux? three?. When these idiots, that's the big boys in the industry, get too big for their boots and start squeezing the wee man more and more, they have what's coming to them no matter how it's dealt!. They deserve it. And now Sony through no one's fault but their own are like saying "we are to blame and now we've got a kick in the backside for our antics, we are taking steps so you can't sue us as quickly as before, so we can continue our antics and do so for longer periods from here on hahahaha!" that's about the size of things init.

I'll stick with Xbox Live from now on.

Ten bucks says PSN is going down again.

Good. I hope they are sued. :flame:

But I still really like my PS3. :crying: :shy: It's always been good to me. Movies, games, music, videos, pictures ... free online gaming. Did I say FREE online gaming?

I concur

I had a friend who asked me about gaming last night. I told him he'd prefer Xbox but then I said it's $50/year and he said that's bullshit. He just wants to play Madden. I honestly like both, I wish they could put Xbox's controller with PS3. Then I'd be the first gamer with a boner

Just an interesting tidbit. A friend of mine works for a video game company and because they're the curious sort, they sent Sony's new TOS to their legal department to see what they had to say.

Their reply was that they highly doubt that the TOS will prevent Sony from a classaction lawsuit in the future if they're negligent in their customers security.
