UK Gamestation owns 88% of their customer's souls

"GameStation has today revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of customers, thanks to a clause it secretly added to the online terms and conditions for the official GameStation website.

The "Immortal Soul Clause" was added as part of an attempt to highlight how few customers read the terms and conditions of an online sale. GameStation claims that 88 percent of customers did not read the clause, which gives legal ownership of the customer's soul over to the UK-based games retailer. "

Someday there will be EULA reform. I think some clauses will be standardized, and hopefully a max length will be enacted. It annoys me how often Apple updates the iTunes Store EULA.

That one frivolous clause probably renders the whole EULA worthless.
