#12No refunds. Sounds like Playstation customer support. The most customer-unfriendly policies a company could think of.

#13it should not be legal for the product page to say “purchase” or “buy” when in reality you’re only renting it with a to be determined end date
Renting what? The non-exclusive, revocable license? Because that's what purchase or buy means.

Pretty sure the Terms of Use say just that. They should update the language on the frontend though.

#15Again? They already tried to pull that one a few years ago. [1] https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Sony%27s_attempted_removal_of_...
They did get away with it in 2024:

(For those without the background: In 2020, Sony bought Crunchyroll and in 2024 merged it with Funimation (acquired by Sony subsidiary Aniplex in 2017). Since Crunchyroll had the larger streaming service, this was done by moving the Funimation library to Crunchyroll. However, Funimation also has a business selling digital copies, not just streaming access, which was discontinued including access to purchased media)

#16A decade ago they pulled my purchased copy of mortal kombat 2. Not the first time they've done stuff like this.
I stuck to buying hard copies and dwindled off the series as they started to charge just to play multiplayer.

#17Fix the headline to say Sony
Re: PlayStation Is Deleting 551 Movies from Customers' Accounts
#18They should absolutely be forced to provide either a refund or a downloadable copy, this is absurd. It sounds like they didn't actually have the license necessary to be able to sell these movies in any reasonable way.

#19Sony sucks and I will never give them another dime. Had a PS5 with a 120+ games (majority PS4), also PSVR2, got f-ed over by Sony when they would not refund in incorrect game purchase I'd bought literally minutes before asking for the refund. Gave up my PS5, I will never purchase anything from Sony ever again. Recommend everyone else do the same.

#20Off to small claims court people should go. Amazon tried something similar and got in trouble because people when after them. And people wonder why some people sail the high seas.
I believe you’d lose in small claims court as all of the streaming companies make it clear you’re purchasing a revokable license.
