Sony has been hit with yet another class action lawsuit for removing the "Install Other OS" option on their older model consoles. The option was removed via an update on April 1st. Although Sony claims the update was optional, but consumers were forced to either update or be locked out of many other features such PSN connectivity.
The lawsuit argues that the company made PS3 owners choose between features that were originally advertised and included together. The suit seeks restitution, including a sum equal to the cost of the PS3 console, injunction relief, and other damages. It includes anyone who purchased any non-Slim model of the PS3 between November 17, 2006 through March 27, 2010 who did not sell their console before March 27, 2010.
