It’s yet another lawsuit, but, this time, it is the kind that you simply expected and would say that Sony asked for it.

A class action lawsuit targets a clause in the PlayStation Network (PSN) terms of service that states users cannot sue Sony. The suit alleges that the company engages in “unfair business practices” by forcing users to give up their right to file a suit. The other choice is, of course, to deny that requirement and not be admitted to the PSN, which is a default feature of the PS3 game console.

There are some other issues with Sony’s shady move, the suit claims: For example, the new clause has been buried at the bottom of the terms of use, which is not easily accessible and rarely read given the inconvenient scrolling feature of the PSN interface.

In September of this year, Sony updated the terms of service following a catastrophic breach of the PSN, which reportedly exposed the names, addresses, email addresses and logins of more than 77 million users.

Sony has not commented on the lawsuit yet.
