No, PSN Isn't Down, You May Need to Accept Terms and Conditions Manually

Thanks for the heads up!!

Bit like those updates that don't start automatically, rather give you a notification saying you should...for some reason.

@glitchesystem Whats in there that illegal?

@glitchesystem Ill give it a flick through.

i did it on my PS3 last night so i shouldn't need to on my PS4 right, it's the same account after all

@glitchesystem Their terms are no worse than Microsofts or Nintendos all of them are like that

Accepted everything then played a game. No drama.

The only bit I don't like is monitoring and recording you, and the "If 2011 happens again we aren't liable".

Oh, and this gem. Remember Jim Ryan said "We have a duty and contract to monitor and protect young users on our network so we don't want other network users coming in for cross platform play?"

"Please note we cannot monitor all PSN activity and we make no commitment to do so".

Oops. :/

@BLP_Software "The only bit I don't like is monitoring and recording you".

I don't know why Sony does this. All that they'll find out, is that Pornhub is more popular than any of their games.

@Hengist Oh, and you aren't allowed to sell on disc based games without their permission. Sounds very Xbox 2013 that does. Hm.

Ah well.

@BLP_Software actually that one has been round for years just read the T&C's that come with ANY game you buy because legally you don't own any game you buy you lease it/buy a licence to use it

@FullbringIchigo I know. I just like poking fun at the people who had a go at MS for it since well, everyone does it.

This doesnt work everytime i select profile or friends it takes me back to the screen where it says "Sign In to ps4 network" than it pops up" This feature is temporarily Unavailable" the terms never pop up. Is there any other way to accept the terms this is really annoying

@KingPen17 You can try clicking anything that uses network features, like the store or Trophies or communities, events, etc. Sounds like it could just be a weird glitch.

I suspect that if I accept they will now own various parts of my anatomy.

@ShogunRok yea i tried that and it still doesnt work its that stupid error (CE-41489-6)

@agapetorch The heads up should have come from Sony though :/ why are they some irresponsible and reckless when it comes to communication?

@KingPen17 You have to go to PlayStation.com and you will be prompted to agree to new terms -_-

Was how I had to accept it. i did it on a PC fyi

@Rudy_Manchego nah just your soul

@wittypixel yea i already did that and it still isnt working i still get that stupid 414 error

I actually got this through the message app on my phone.

@FullbringIchigo Nah that's OK, least valuable part of me.

@glitchesystem No one is forcing you to sign it to use your console, thats pure hyperbole. They are requiring that you sign it to be able to utilize their online service. Like every, single, other, online service in the world.

Unless you live in a cave, you have signed dozens, if not more of these in the last few years. Like, say, that license agreement that you were forced to agree to to use your Windows or Mac PC, or your Android, Windows or iOS phone. Shocker, they all have license agreements, and don't allow you to use them unless you have agreed to it. Unlike these licenses that actually require that you do not use the product at all if you do not agree to them, your Playstation 4 will continue to play games offline (and watch DVD and BluRay movies) for years if you choose not to agree to the license.

@glitchesystem I think there is a sub in there bla bla local law stuff or am i mixing stuff up now.

got my copy late last night automatically, they send you an email as well with all the details.

LMFAO the comments section is funny as. Accept and get on with life.

I just wish I could be able to accept that darn new "Terms of Service". Got no emails from PSN and unable to accept it from the console either. Now, my kids can't play their games because I haven't accepted it... Tried tweeting PS support but I feel like it's gonna take a while for an answer... GREAT JOB SONY!!!

After updating firmware 5.0, I just go to psn store on my ps4 and the pop-up notification show up, click yes and I'm online again.

@kyleforrester87

LOL. Totally.

"OBJECTION YOUR HONOUR!!!!"

Uh...according to the new guidelines the ToS now would prohibit purchasing games on PSN from other regions as all regions are now bound to the same ToS and your billing information and address must be correct, which isn't possible if you have an account to access a different region's PSN Store...

@KingPen17 I'm having the same issue!! There is no button/tab for me to even accept any of the new things. We've been battling it for 2 days now! My games is going a little bonkers.

@angels3halos Same thing for me buddy ... <o/
