any one seen it?

Sony have updated their TOS which could mean you get banned for using any 3rd party peripherals!

You agree that you will not use any unauthorized hardware, including peripherals not sold or licensed by a Sony company such as, by way of example only, non-licensed game enhancement devices, controllers, adaptors and power supply devices (collectively, "Non-Licensed Peripherals") or software to access or use Sony Online Services or any content or service provided on or through Sony Online Services.

This seams way ott to me, will i get banned for my 500gb HDD? or a 3rd party controller?

All mouth and no trousers. They can't detect or even to bother trying to detect when you're using a non-authorized controller.

Sure its been there for a while, its more of a case of you use a non official controller and it breaks the PS3 they are not responsible.

Care to explain? I wouldn't mind knowing how you get a 360 pad working on PS3 since I really do not like the PS3 controller, yet my 360 controller is perfect for me.

Thanks

Now I just need to find out if it would work with the Razer Onza. I imagine it will work, since the Onza is an officially licensed wired 360 pad, but then again I've no clue

I doubt they'll ban people for putting a larger harddrive into their PS3 as it was Sony that allowed us to do it.

Let's be rational here, we all know they won't ban for third party controllers it hard drives, and we all know what thus means and what they will look for.

I'd wager this is more than likely introduced in order to deter less desirable peripherals. By this i mean the ps3 hack dongle is technically a peripheral, so it would fall into that category. The XIM3 again is a peripheral that gets many people's backs up.
