'THAT PLAYSTATION'S A SPAH!'
OT: That's just ridiculous. I'm losing respect for Sony at an incredible rate.

So just like every other company they may or may not be acting upon thier Terms of Usage Agreement? Don't care. If they wish to know which games I play so as to show me pictures and ads on the menu, so be it. No loss to me, though possibly a gain if they were to ever show something I was actually interested in.
Whatever. This nonsense will keep continuing until somebody organizes a proper Consumer's Union with some power to get laws changed. As things stand now, user agreement laws are barbaric and absurdly slanted in the company's favor. You often sign over most of your legal options the minute you open that box.
So yeah, let them spy. Everyone else does. For that matter, stop providing me a working product! Take away my Linux! Bait and switch all you want! Make me pay to fix an error you put in your machines at launch and haven't fixed years later (MS)! Look at freaking Kane and Lynch for PC. No patches, no support, and the game won't run in... Well, I'm just going to say MOST PCs. It's pretty much a broken product.

I just get the feeling Sony would send a letter containing my download history to my mum, for no better reason than to humiliate me.ethaninja said:
Well Sony just keeps making themselves look silly don't they? Doesn't really bother me as i don't play the Ps3.
Well then MS has been making themselves look silly for years, this is how they detect cheaters. And if this gets rid of people ruining PSN people should be all for it.SnootyEnglishman said:
Not really bothered, i don't do anything wrong with my PS3, it plays games, films and browses the net and sends the ocasional message.
I'm not a PS3 owner but this about sums up my feelings on the matter. The only people who need to be worried by this news (and other stories to the same effect) are people who are playing outside the rules. Gaming is meant to be a pleasurable distraction from life's greater struggles, not the be-all and end-all.Wahful said:
I honestly can't understand people like you. Here we have Sony, this hugely powerful multi-national corporation inserting secret surveillance devices into their products, for no justified reason whatsoever and possibly against the laws of a number of countries, and yet some people say "I've got nothing to hide, let them wire tap me all they want."AbyssalSanhedrin said:
Seriously, this is like a private, corporate version of 1984. Sony has inserted software into their product that allows them to remotely shut down the product you own and paid for whenever they feel like it. This isn't like copy protection, this is a physical item that you OWN. This is so beyond unethical that I can honestly hardly believe it.
Okay. I don't have anything like that. I can see how people are sparking a debate of the legality of Sony having anything to do with their system and I can also see why the whole "when you log onto the PSN" thing means that its actually qualified by way of using their service. I will await to see if their is a trial and how the court rules otherwise I'm not getting huffy.
