U.S. Court summons Sony On PS3 FW update 3.21

[Ponmayilal]

On a class action complaint filed by a California Resident and owner of a Sony PS3, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has issued summons to Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc.

The complaint pertains to the intentional doing away of the " Install other OS" feature -an advertised feature at the time of selling - by the PS3 FW update 3.21 released around 01 April 2010.(Many users who were unaware, were shocked when it killed Linux on their consoles after updating.)

While Sony at the time of 3.21 release had said the update was optional, not updating will deny many of the additional advertised features both existing and that which may evolve later. ( More details in the complaint)
