Paypal has changed it's user agreement and policies in an attempt to stop class-action lawsuits.
So uh, looks like Paypal's pulling a Sony. I don't think I like this fad.

Ehh.. Not really sure what to make of this. Is it possible to make something like this part of an agreement for a service like Paypal? Not saying that it's the only one available, but that it's the Steam of internet payment if credit cards and other straight payment methods aren't taken into account.
Also as another thing, is there a part in US law (I'd presume it's the one mainly referred to with companies like Paypal) that makes these restrictions possible?

Well Sony already pulled it off with their PSN/SEN agreement change, so I assume if it was illegal they'd have been hit already.

Ebay and Valve and a lot of companies have the same clause. It is now a copy paste most companies use in their contracts and agreements and even for employers.
Even if it is an agreement, it doesn't make it law and at least in California it is considered unfair and courts will allow you to join class actions even if you agreed not to. You are also allowed to waive out of the agreement through mail which, of course, hardly anyone ever will.

This is silly. How can PayPal just assume they have good judgement when dealing with claims? Thankfully the opt-out option is there so you can file a lawsuit afterwards.
No class-action lawsuits? Come on guys, let's do a class-action lawsuit on
this!
Anyway, have they face one before?

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
