Sony PlayStation: Age Verification for Chat and 30-Day License Validation

Sony has introduced two changes to its PlayStation that may leave some players feeling miffed. For one, the chat feature will now require age verification. This means that minors playing multiplayer games who fall below a certain age threshold will no longer be able to participate in chats or use communication features. Another (apparently unannounced) change is likely to have even more serious consequences. Purchases of games are subject to a 30-day license validation period.
