I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Many games will not allow you to play (at all, even "offline") if updates (to the game, not the console's firmware) are available. I think Civ:Rev will only force you to update if you want to play "online", but I'm pretty sure Little Big Planet won't even load if updates to the game are available.
Other games require you to be online to simply install.
Some newer Blu-Ray discs require updates to the PS3's firmware. You cannot update the firmware without accepting the EULA.
You lose enormous functionality by not accepting the EULA.
With every one of these insane EULA updates, I'm thinking more and more about using one of the custom firmwares.
One thing is for certain - their anti-consumer stance ensures I won't ever buy another Sony product!

I downloaded little big planet and for a month I didn't have internet and was able to play without having updated it. If the game requires an update it's not mandatory. It only makes you update if you go online but you don't have to do that. Problem is lots of people who don't have a PS3 and don't know the facts keep propogating anti-sony spin simply because they don't like certain practices of Sony the conglomerate. But it does no one a favor to keep up ad-hominem attacks on Sony.
