Seems like a good idea, well kinda. There will most probably be some stupid way through again that Sony haven't thought of. Seems like the running theme.
As of 2009 virgins network covered about 12.5 million homes (near enough 50%) and they were about to start adding another 500k. But that only means that its available. Most people I think will probably still be on 10mb as most don't need anything faster. Some do, but most don't.
We can't get it here
If you believe the advertising
Personally I dont know anyone in any city or in big towns that has the option of having Virgin
Even so - my question still stands, very few PS3 (or even console in general) owners actually have anything above a standard 8mb adsl connection (which at best will probably be about 3- 4mb lol)
Its not THAT expensive lol - but compared to adsl pricing its pretty steep yes
Holy crap, even i, the type of person who really doesn't mind invasion or privacy that much, find that a little too invasive.
EDIT
Actually, it's not as invasive as i initially assumed:
So they basically just want to figure out the rough amount of people that have obtained this through him, in order to give their court case against him more weight.

they can build new ps3's all they want but unless they ban all old ps3's from online and offer a free swap scheme, they cant ensure hack free online gaming.
i doubt this would be financially viable to do so and bankrupt sony therefore, any new console they make which is hack proof is useless as hackers would just buy old ps3's from ebay instead.

Actually Sonys legal dept obtained the info for use of the courts and lawyers only. Its to determine if the court case can be done in California, if no one from that area looked at that then the court case will have to be done elsewhere. Heard that this is fairly normal practice in this type of case and anyone who went to that site should worry no personal info will be shown just links to show IP address geographical location.
As for the hackers themselves it sounds like its nowhere close to being as major issue as first thought due to the latest FW and all the new PSN hole closures.
I was under the impression that they already had?
I don't think console piracy is worth the hassle at all I really don't know why they get so miffed over it.
Probably 1% of their customers pirate and wouldn't buy the games anyway whether they were pirated or not.
As far as I can see even the 360 is a pain in the behind constantly having to switch and swap or upgrade firmwares etc etc etc every time a new game comes out.
I think as long as you are prepared to wait a few months you can pretty much get any game for £10-£15 second hand.
