The internet outrage that met Sony’s removal of the Other OS feature from the PS3 console isn’t the only problem on the company’s doorstep. Now they also have a class action lawsuit to deal with.

A PS3 user from California named Anthony Ventura filed a class action lawsuit against Sony a couple of days ago. The suit is centered around Sony’s “intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available with the Sony Playstation 3 video game console.”

The lawsuit further claims that the removal of the Other OS feature is a breach of the sales contract between Sony and its customers, calling it “an unfair and deceptive business practices perpetrated on millions of unsuspecting customers”.

It seems Ventura’s lawsuit isn’t the only one being served to Sony either. Thinq reports that at least one other New York law firm is preparing another class action lawsuit against the company.
