Sony Sued For Anti-Lawsuit Update

by Jim Reilly on Dec 19, 2011 at 12:47 PM

This past September, Sony updated its Terms of Service agreement for PlayStation Network that would forbid anyone from filing a class action lawsuit against the company. That hasn’t stopped someone from trying.

As reported by GameSpot, a class action lawsuit was filed last month against Sony for the update saying it forced consumers to give up their rights to file a lawsuit or give up signing online to PlayStation Network. The suit claims Sony did not make the updated changes visible enough in the Terms of Service and did not post a version online.

Sony did allow users to opt out of the agreement, but the suit notes they had to send in a written letter within 30 days.

Sony has yet to offer comment on this lawsuit.
