A disgruntled PlayStation 3 owner in Florida has filed a class action lawsuit against Sony, claiming that a firmware update made live in early September caused PS3 units to "malfunction and actually damaged the hardware on many units." The suit claims Sony is charging $150 to repair PS3s with "sustained hardware damage" from the update. After some early reports of a problem with update 3.0, Sony issued a fix, but the Florida man claims Sony's update doesn't actually correct the problem. In fact, he says the "fix" actually caused further problems with the console's Blu-ray drive. The suit accuses SCEA of breach of implied warranty, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and other counts. The suit is seeking restitution, unspecified monetary damages and legal fees. As of yet, Sony hasn't commented on the matter. Although I've read a few scattered posts on the internet about the issue, my PS3 is fine, and no one I know has had this happen to his or her system either -- G4 has a lot of PlayStation 3 owners, too. Still, there are scattered reports on the internet, and a guy in Florida is angry enough to sue, so maybe there is something to this.
