Was about to buy one to play with, especially as they have new hardware (to me, I wasn't paying attention).
Then I noticed this on the terms of service when clicking 'buy':
Requires wireless internet access and a Facebook account.
And, uh, heh... no. Just no. I don't even need a Sony/PS account to use a playstation, and at least a PS account has to do with, you know, the playstation.
Meanwhile, Facebook has to do with a bazillion other things, has all this baggage, I've never had and ever ever want an account, and... what? I'm going to get an account for a barely usable piece of expensive hardware?
