I assume that's in the rare case the BA crew aren't trying to strike?

But, it was Sony that initiated the actions that broke the contract.
It's my understanding that in English and Welsh law in this hypothetical situation I don't have a contract with Sony; They haven't received any consideration from me, and I haven't received anything from them. I do have a hypothetical contact with Amazon however.
To explain this in terms of your car analogy, the accelerator is broken and I have two choices: Go to Bill's Discount Cars and demand compensation from them that the car doesn't work properly on the basis of my contract of sale with them (i.e. go to amazon and complain that my PS3 doesn't play the latest games) or I can get Toyota to fix it and accept that they'll break my radio (install the update from Sony and lose the Linux support.) I can't complain to Toyota about the way they'd fix the car because I've got no contract with them and they're under no obligation to do so (they're doing it to stop Bill getting annoyed with them in turn and to protect their image, but not because they legally have to).
This said the above Anonymous Coward has some very good points about advertising which may give me additional redress and totally debunk my main points. Yey for anonymous cowards!

Now, if you're going down these lines you need to separate out the punitive damages from the actual damages. The former should be taken in context of the ability for the person to pay (i.e. if you're suing a multinational, you expect punitive damages significant enough for them to sit up and take notice.) The later should probably not be.
Are you going to let them do that to you again???????
Honestly? Probably.
