| Toastrules said: Well, contrary to what some people are saying is a 'desperate move' by Sony, I think they did this to be the 'good guy', especially for the press. For example, since they sent out a legitimate, fair warning telling people "We can and WILL ban you, so unless you stop pirating and stuff, we're going after you. We're giving you a second chance." that seems a lot more of the good guy than Microsoft's move of suddenly blocking thousands of piraters without a public warning. Sure everyone also supported Microsoft's move, but at least Sony's doing the "second chance" routine, and giving the foolish ones a chance to reconcile and go back to the way of legality. |
I think it's that, and Sony cannot be accused of forcing people to buy another console for the sake of sales to replace the banned one if compliance has not been met. Of course you'll have to buy another PS3 if you want to keep your homebrew going, but at least you're given an option before action was taken on Sony's part.
