Sony went on to say that it takes a “firm stance” against such behavior, which includes examples like “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands, excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation or apologies, and abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors.”

Other examples included “forcing someone to prostrate themselves” and “visiting our offices or related facilities without permission.” If any such behavior is confirmed, Sony says it may “restrict or suspend customer service” to protect its employees — and, if necessary, contact “police, lawyers, etc.” to take legal action or begin criminal proceedings against them.

No one at the call center gives a shit regardless of how you approach it, I promise you. They probably aren't even Sony employees.

3rd party call centers are usually terrified of telling the actual business about issues.

I did say 'if you must'. I reckon it's pissing into the wind as well. Just don't buy their product is my advice. The only thing megacorporations like Sony respect is the bottom line. I also don't expect enough 'gamers' to do that to make a difference. They'll yell and stomp their little feet, but still send them their money.
