godspeeed: that sucks, they probably went balls out because of the geohotz thing but another instance of the average honest customer punished for no reason.
I am not too concerned about class action because its just a game console and I keep my personal info away from them.
For the licensing thing its a bit annoying but if I recall I had seen the same thing in my original Starcraft user manual (1997). Is this a new practice or Sony just jumped in late in the ambiguous TOS?
wodmarach: Up until now you have owned anything you bought you buy a disc you own the disc, you buy a console you own the console, this TOS states you buy the disc you don't own it you just have a license to use it for awhile (term not stated) and you don't own the console you license it from them (again no term stated) while they also rid themselves of the requirement in law to repair rented items if the break etc.
The net effect is you no longer actually own the console or anything to do with it and they can take it away at any time, they could literally walk up and use it to go in and take it away if they don't agree with your usage of it.
