RUMOR: PSN Ban-Wave incoming due to new TOS in PAN/ EUROPE countries

Lets see if they go the Xbox route and gather everybodys information for a month and then slam the hammer down...right before Christmas lol.

damn just got it too. im not keen so i cancelled out. dont mind not having psn

[filthytx]

Just because they updated the tos doesn't mean they are banning. Maybe they are just updating the tos? Or better yet maybe they just wanna scare people....I guess it's working. I for one will not let this stop me from getting on psn. That is just a self imposed ban, so I ride this jailbreak hack on psn until the wheels fall off. Talk to me in a a few months when we are still able to get on psn and you have refused to get online because you were a little scared of some words.

Where does it even say there would be repercussions/ban? I think people are assuming and spreading false information. As stated, they don't need to update the TOS just to ban. If they see there is a need to do so, they'll do it.

Does anyone know if these are in the current TOS?

The solution is NEVER sign out!

I remember when M$ decided to kill original XBOX 1 games from the 360 live servers, they were thousands of people that decided to stay logged in for days playing HALO 2, as long as they did, even tho no one else could log in, as M$ had killed the XBOX 1 support, those their were already in, could stay in.

So there you have it, if you don't want to get banned or kicked, still logged in, don't sign-out for any reason what ever you do.
