Remember that hulking monstrosity that was the original PS3? Lovingly called the "fat" playstation, the console was supposed to be able to run Linux, and then the folks at Playstation basically said, "Nevermind". Ain't gonna fly, Sony.
Now, after an eternity in court, a class-action lawsuit has been settled, and if you meet the conditions, you can get some money.
Sony settled the case for $3.75 million and after the lawyer fees and whatnot, the trickle down dough that ends up in your pocket will be $65 smacks.
You can get the cash if you:
- Submit your claim by April 15
- Bought an original PS3, in the US, between November 1, 2006, and April 1, 2010 (not the slim or super slim)
- You will need either your PS3 serial number, the PlayStation Network Sign-In ID you used to create a PlayStation account associated with your console, or the PlayStation Network Online ID associated with the PlayStation account you used with your console.
Use this form to submit your claim.
