Sounds like an opportunity to practice replacing that battery on a few old PS4s so you can offer the replacement service in the future.

In a few yeas time they'll have dropped support for the PS4 network, rendering it a brick regardless of battery.

That would be a good opportunity for a class action lawsuit. They should normally release a software update to allow users play their games without a PSN connection.

Why? At least in the US it's unlikely anything could happen. They'll say the EULAs explicitly say you are licencing the temporary right to play the game and that's it.

What about the hardware? Are they temporarily licensing me the console?
