Home Abusers Face The Ban Hammer

Posted by x3sphere at August 14, 2007, 2:25 pm


In news that should surprise no-one, Sony Home director Peter Edward has said that users who repeatedly abuse the upcoming Home service face having their PlayStation 3 console blacklisted and permanently disabled from any future online use.

If you really feel like you’ve been abused or that someone has just shown wholly inappropriate behavior then you are able to complain about it. If you really, really misbehave you can have your console disconnected at a machine level, so you would actually have to move house and buy a new PS3 before you could get online again.

So, don’t misbehave on Home, folks.

EIF: Home abusers can be turned off and banned, warns Sony [GI.biz]

LOL. This whole "blacklist the entire console" is just a way for Sony to make up the money they're losing on the PS3. Read: "...move house and buy a new PS3..."

Classic.

Though isn't Micro$oft doing the same thing with the 360? I know they do it to modded 360s but they have a good reason for that.

I think this is good for sony and i fully support it. I dont want to get harrased by stupid people. This way they lay down the law and keep that stuff under controll. I cant tell you how many messages i get from people after i beat them in hockey from xbox live. I mean you can block them but id like to see people who do that stuff loose the priveledge that i have by being respectful.
