Millions of PlayStation owners could be owed money.
Sony customers in the UK could claim a share of up to £5 billion in damages if a new legal claim filed against the gaming giant is successful. A collective action brought against the company at the Competition Appeal Tribunal accuses it of "ripping off" customers with overpriced digital games and in-game purchases.
Led by consumer rights champion Alex Neill, the claim accuses Sony of abusing its market-dominant position to impose unfair terms and conditions on game developers and publishers - including charging a 30% commission on every digital game or in-game purchase made through the online PlayStation Store - which the claim says has driven up prices for consumers.
