Nu stiu de Square dar sper ca sony sa ieie o palma peste "bot" si de data asta ca prea increzuti devin.A class action lawsuit has been filed against Sony and Square Enix, alleging they knowingly continued to allow Final Fantasy XIII to be sold despite it damaging consoles. The lawsuit is seeking “in excess of $5,000,000″ in damages.
The plaintiff alleges Final Fantasy XIII “caused [customers'] PS3 consoles to freeze and become totally and permanently inoperable.”
He apparently experienced a crash on saving which “bricked” his console, and points to a hundred or more other cases reported on online forums since the March release of the title..
It is further claimed that “both Defendants are eminently aware of the damage being cause by their defective products, and have chosen to do nothing about it.”
Both companies are in fact said to have blamed each other for the failure, and to have done nothing.
Sony’s PS3 downgrades are even mentioned – it is said Sony demanded $270 to fix the (out of warranty) console, or $150 to provide a refurbished later model, lacking the PS2 compatibility possessed by the plaintiff’s original console.
All this is alleged to be a violation of Californian consumer protection law, and to constitute grounds for a class action lawsuit as damages are calculated to be in excess of $5,000,000 – a maximum is of course not specified, it being in practice “as much as we can get.”
Coming on the heels of the Linux lawsuit, this does not look to be a promising development for Sony.
