    Well, any person who has made a PSN account in the past 15 years is bound by arbitration. An arbiter that Sony pays. An arbiter that will not get paid again if they rule against Sony.

    So… probably not reasonable.

      Forced arbitration provisions have been thrown out before. So have contract clauses that ban class actions.

      A company can put whatever they want in their agreements, whether it is enforceable is a completely different story, and things are tossed out by courts all the time.
