Sony requires all users to agree to new TOS before accessing PSN: http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/02/new-psn-terms-of-service/#axzz1EJUmkJX9
I personally think that they shouldn’t be able to introduce many changes to the TOS once a person has made a purchase. I don’t know many people who would buy a PS3 and not have the intention of connecting to the PlayStation Network. Even though legally you are not purchasing a connection to PSN, it is implied that you will use it… Seems like complete crap that they can hide behind TOS or you can’t play bs.
All in all, I think cases of hacking consoles and other devices that YOU OWN will eventually bring about more legislation benefiting the end-user (or at least I hope so). Companies like Sony, Microsoft, Motorola, and Apple need to adjust before they get left behind.
They need to find a way to secure their code and games on their systems while still allowing the consumer to modify the hardware / software.
