Forums - Sony - Amazon Awards Compensation for Sony's Removal of Other OS

Damnyouall on 09 April 2010

As stated here , Sony's removal of Other OS from PS3 was most likely unlawful, and isn't covered by any ELUAs/TOSs. If an EULA or TOS contain terms that go against the law, then those terms are invalid. Apparently Amazon's European lawyers know their trade: Someone just managed to get a 20% refund (and keep the console) as compensation for the loss of a feature.

Since I don't think that Amazon will just eat up those costs, it's going to get interesting now.

This should be frontpage news; maybe one of the contributors sees it and posts it instead of inane articles about "skyrocketing" Blu-Ray sales.

How dare you speak against Sony and may possibly make us some money!?

Well that seems fitting, although you can argue if 20% isn't too much of a refund, but hey, i wouldn't complain :).

So how much time before damnyouall gets eaten alive again?



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

Like I said in the other thread, it's a good daftness indicator.

Unfortunately I didn't buy my PS3s at Amazon, otherwise I'd contact them right now.

sigh, here we go... people who are moaning about linux removal are being a bit short sighted, if they can't see Sony did this to protect us all from hackers, then they are truly blinded, if you like spyware, viruses and having personal information stolen way to go for you.
I think GeoHotz should pay this bill, Go Sony!!

Sony protect "us" from hackers how? I don't think the "us" part is misused.

I see it like a jailbreak for phones for CFW for PSP.
It opens up the platform for the user to use however the hell they want, and not how Sony wants.
It's a win for users to me. (No, not everyone use it for piracy, just you and the people around you.)
