According to reports from China, a group of Engineering students were forced to work on the assembly line manufacturing the PlayStation 4, in order to receive course credits and graduate.

PlayStation 4 supplier Foxconn had as many as 1,000 engineering interns working for them, but they forced the students to do manual labor in assembly and packaging the PlayStation 4, in order to get the credits needed to graduate. The type of work had no relation to their field of study, and it looks like Foxconn were just looking for some quick and free labor.

Sony has distanced themselves from the situation, saying that they expect Foxconn and other suppliers to comply with the “Sony Supplier Code of Conduct”, a policy established in 2005 by Sony. Foxconn makes products for many consumer electronics companies — they also manufacture the Wii U and the upcoming Xbox One.

Foxconn's labour practices are 1st world compared to the other places where clothes and other goods are made in China. They work 12 hour days with 2 30 minutes breaks and are offered food and a room. But exploiting free labour isn't a smart move.
