Quote — "Based on your feedback, we’re stepping away from the ‘Offer’ category for now. We’ll keep exploring alternate ways for players who want points to get them. We’ll also continue to innovate in pricing and accessibility because that’s who we are. As of today, the Offer Wall is coming down. We’ll collect all the feedback we’ve received over the last few days and will use it to guide future decisions."

Submission + - Sony sued over Bricked PS3's (arstechnica.com)

Zarrot writes: If Sony's last PS3 update bricked your console, you may now have legal recourse thanks to a class actions suit against Sony. Charging customer $150 dollars to repair damage, your own software caused is terrible. Even MS didn't try something like that with the red ring of death. My 360 was repaired free and it took less than 2 weeks. I am usually a big fanboy of Sony's but this time they seem to have lost their way.
