Sony is going to start banning people from PSN unless they sign a new TOS that waives their right to sue them in the event of another security breach.

Bullshit.
Discussion about
Reason #25,697 why I won't buy a PS3.
Time to write an angry email / letter to Sony's CEO and various VPs. Of course I'll be sure to include to following text in my signature:
READ CAREFULLY.

I'm sure that will solve the problem. ;)

It apparently wouldn't hold up in a UK court, according to GamePolitics:

Sony, they just love bad publicity, don't they. I can't think of another reason for them to go out of there way to displease there customers. I guess I'm more surprised that thus kind of language wasn't already in the TOS.
Of course I refuse to buy Sony products to it's not like they're loseing my money.
