Okay this is a genuinely good move from them. Unfortunately nobody I know really owns modern Xboxes anymore, but I hope the rpessure forces Sony to consider the same.
It seems like we're genuinely at the ceiling for this stuff which might actually be a huge benefit and slow down the horrendous e-waste cycle we've perpetuated.

Yeah, let's get back to appointing judges ASAP.
