Mandatory PS3 update removes right to join in a class-action lawsuit

Sony has another solution to this problem beyond beefing up security (and it's not retaining the features you paid for): if you accept the next mandatory system update, you sign away your ability to take part in a class-action lawsuit. The only option left for consumers if they agree is binding individual arbitration.

The Examiner caught the fine print in the latest system update, which states:

Typical of Sony. Bastards will employ any low-life tactic to avoid liability/responsibility.

I haven't purchased a Sony product since the rootkit debacle, and never will again.

For mine, Samsung and LG have surpassed Sony with quality products, superior customer support/relations and a much better attitude than Sony's by far, so once a lost customer always a lost customer.
