Sony have recently struck a deal with Nielsen to a data-sharing agreement aimed at "attracting advertising revenue and bring life back to PlayStation 3 sales". The new feature will collect data from your console as they want to know whos watching what, whos playing what, and who's seeing what. All data will be sent straight to Sony for them to analyse and work out "behaviour patterns, the effectiveness of advertisements in games, and some basic demographic information such as the user's age."
I personally think this is a really bad move as people hate this kind of privacy invasion and people dont even like seeing ads in their games and have boycotted buying products just for that. We have all heard about the incident involving Battlefield 2142 and it just collecting data on what specs your computer had and people not buying it as it invaded their privacy.
