[GAMING] "Fat/PHAT" PS3 Owners Can Claim Cash under class action suit settlement

Tuesday, March 20, 2018 05:48AM
If you owned an original Playstation 3, you could have some money headed your way.

According to PCMag, the original PS3 console released in 2006 gave users the ability to install an alternative operating system along with the PS3 software.

But when the "slim model" was released, the alternative operating system feature was removed due to security concerns.

That change resulted in a class-action lawsuit. A settlement was reached in 2016, which allows PS3 owners to claim $65.

If you haven't filed your claim, though, you're running out of time.

Anyone who owns the original PS3 has until April 15 to file a claim.

Here are the requirements:

-You must have purchased your PS3 from an "authorized retailer."
- Include your PSN username and PS3 serial number.
- The offer is only good for 20GB, 40GB, 60GB and 80GB models.

I lost mine in the tax day flood. Have no idea the serial number.

My original fat PS3 broke so I sent it in and they replaced it with the slim PS3. Luckily, I still have the email record of my support ticket which has the serial no. of my original PS3. Hopefully I can still get my $65
