Sony sued over 'don't sue us' Terms of Service

Sony has been taken to court over new Terms of Service that were added to prevent people from taking it to court. Funny, that.
Introduced in September, the new terms of service user agreement had users to agree not to take Sony to court. Agreement is required in order to access the PSN.
But a Northern California man has taken legal action against Sony for unfair business practices for forcing users to choose between giving up their right to sue or ceasing to use a service they effectively paid for when they purchased a PS3.
Filed on behalf of everyone who bought a PS3 before the new terms were added, the suit also alleges that Sony hid the new clauses down in the long document, and failed to make an easily accessible version of it available online as it had for previous ToS changes.
It'll be interesting to see if similar action is taken against Microsoft, who also recently added similar clauses to its Xbox Live ToS to prevent class action lawsuits.
