 Sony will ban you on PSN if you don't agree to not sue them
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14948701Sony is preparing to ban gamers from the PlayStation Network (PSN) unless they waive the right to collectively sue it over future security breaches. I'm glad I don't own a PS3.

I mean you can't blame them. Why would they want to provide you with a service if you're going to try to screw them over in the future?
It's a good business strategy,IMO.

Good business strategy, yes, but, people will be singing a different tune when their credit card info is jacked and they unknowingly buy someone a new guitar or computer. But in all honesty, good businesses cater to their shareholders and board members first and their customers next. Just the way things are.

It's a good business strategy,IMO. But they also have a responsibility to keep the info they require for your subscriptions and transactions with their company private and secure. Regardless of what they make you agree to, there is probably a law out there that says F*CK them if they are allowing breaches(multiple if it happens again, and that will get the FBI and other sections of the government involved.) into their system and credit card information or really any information is stolen. Huge class action lawsuit and a couple million in fines too.

they have that right, however if you want to play PS3 you could probably still sue if they gross-negligenced claiming unconscionability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscionabilityclick "yup i agree" if you want to use their service. if they F*CK up and give your credit card to iraquis to buy bombs, you can sue 'em no problem.
