According to an article on the popular website GamesIndustry.biz,both Sony and Square Enix are off to see a judge.

Sony and Square Enix have been served a class action lawsuit over issues with the PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy XIII.

“Both Defendants are eminently aware of the damage being cause by their defective products, and have chosen to do nothing about it,” alleges the lawsuit, uncovered by consumer site IGN. IGN are hosting a pdf document showing some cool stuff to do with the case here.

The suit is seeking $5 million in damages for the suit which represents over 100 users in the US. The reason its headed to court is because the people who have complained to Sony have been told that its a fault with the game and not with sony, and both companies have not made any effort in helping the affected customers. Also some peoplee who have not suffered from ‘Bricked’ ps3′s have been reporting that they have suffered from ‘Short Bricking’ which means that they still cannot play the game as it constantly freezes their system. As the case states this game cannot be used at all without a risk to the Playstation 3 becoming damaged, destroying its functionality, posing a risk to consumers, or a combination of results.
