The new terms popped up on my US account a good week ago, but that's the only one. That should tell you something.

I could be mistaken, but I also believe it's only in regards to class action lawsuits. The ones where a lawyer finds a reason to make money and then sign up anyone they can to join in.

It's only class action. To be honest, that clause could already be in any of the EUA's I've agreed to and I wouldnt know

about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

This thing is bullshit, it basically boils down to, "if we fuck up, you can sue us, but you have to fund it as an individual, your screwed, have fun affording that suckers."

Or the ones where 360 gamers file class actions for Live being down for a day.

If you read the article you linked to, you still have the right to sue, they just insist on having 60 days to negotiate with you directly first before a lawyer tries to get his head in the news.

Over the weekend it was reported that Sony had changed its customer Terms of Service to prevent class action lawsuits against the company. We can confirm that these new terms do not apply to Australia.

Last week the BBC reported that a clause had been included in PSN’s new Terms of Service called the “Binding Individual Arbitration”, which states that “any Dispute Resolution Proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a named or unnamed member in a class, consolidated, representative or private attorney general action”.

According to the report, users would have to agree to the new Terms of Service before they can log onto their PSN account. A pop-up message appears on the screen just before they login to PSN. Those who want to opt out of the agreement can do so by sending a letter to Sony’s Los Angeles headquarters in the US. Once they do, subscribers will be able to keep their right to file a class action lawsuit without any need for arbitration.

A Sony spokesperson confirmed that the Terms of Service for Australian PSN users have not changed.

“Although the Terms of Service (TOS) in the SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) region have not been changed, in the regions where they have, this updated language is designed to benefit both the consumer and the company by ensuring that there is adequate time and procedures to resolve disputes. There is also a section of the TOS that educates users on how they can opt out of this portion of the TOS,” the spokesperson said.

“As Australia is part of SCEE therefore there is no change to the TOS.”

So is this because Americans will sue anyone for any reason?
Europe and Aus aren't included in this because were not as haphazard to sue anyone and anything into oblivion for stupid reasons?
