A California judge has ruled to consolidate all seven individual class action lawsuits filed against Sony Computer Entertainment America for removing the "Other OS" feature from the PlayStation 3.
This means Sony now faces one large class action complaint, which is expected to be filed by the end of the month. Sony will then have the next 30 days to issue a response.
The parties will be meeting this coming September to discuss scheduling and give disclosures.
Back in April, the first lawsuit was filed against Sony for the "intentional disablement of the valuable functionality originally advertised as available." Users of the feature could install the operating system Linux, which Sony removed claiming it was for security concerns.
Sony has yet to issue a response to this litigation.
We'll provide updates on this as it happens. Be sure to check out our "What the PS3 Class Action Lawsuit Means For You" article explaining the details.
