Sony is being sued for changes to its terms and conditions designed to prevent users from suing it en masse.
The class action lawsuit, filed in California, claims the changes force users to give up their legal rights and are unfair.

A Sony spokesman told the BBC: "We chose to make the changes after the Supreme Court clarified the law."

Sony is preparing to ban gamers from the PlayStation Network (PSN) unless they waive the right to collectively sue it over future security breaches.

The move comes months after a string of hacking attacks compromised over 100 million accounts of the PlayStation Network subscribers.

Who benefits from the hacking of the Sony Network?
Is this the work of a teenager with an XBox fetish, or something more sinister...
Sony has warned users of its PlayStation Network that their personal information, including credit card details, may have been stolen.
The company said that the data might have fallen into the hands of an "unauthorised person" following a hacking attack on its online service.
Access to the network was suspended last Wednesday, but Sony has only now revealed details of what happened.
Users are being warned to look out for attempted telephone and e-mail scams.

PS3 network enters record books
A project that harnesses the spare processing power of Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) to help understand the cause of diseases has entered the record books.
Guinness World Records has recognised folding@home (FAH) as the world's most powerful distributed computing network.
FAH has signed up nearly 700,000 PS3s to examine how the shape of proteins affect diseases such as Alzheimer's.
The network has more than one petaflop of computing power - the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second.
