Sony Will Not Ban Users Who Use Their PS4 Before Release Day

Just this morning we got news that a user had gotten an early Xbox One retail unit ahead of release day, then just a few hours ago we found out that Microsoft had banned the user and his console for using it before the official release date.

It seems that Sony have an incredible ability to play off every bit of negative PR Microsoft get and Shuhei Yoshida confirmed on twitter today that you will not get banned for using your PlayStation 4 before official release date, even if you connect to the internet with it.

This is of course great news and should your order get dispatched a day or two early, you can get right to the action without fear of a ban. However keep in mind that connecting the Xbox One to the internet, or perhaps using it at all pre-release, could land you in trouble and even get your hardware banned from Xbox Live.

Thank you Shuhei Yoshida for providing us with this information.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
