"The class action lawsuit against PlayStation is proceeding in the UK and Non UK residents can also opt in.

Sony could be forced to pay PlayStation players $7.9 billion for their crimes.

The CMA is supporting the lawsuit."

Any settlement reached between Alex Neill and Sony must be approved by the Competition Appeal Tribunal (see What is the Competition Appeal Tribunal?) and must be just and reasonable.

If Alex settles the claim in exchange for a sum of money from Sony, that sum of money will be distributed to Class Members as directed by the Competition Appeal Tribunal and there will be more information made available about that process at the relevant time.

1. I though PeterOvo said he was retiring from being an Xbot after MS started porting their games to PlayStation.

2. It's a class action lawsuit, even if they do win each person would get maybe a couple of cents, not 7.9 bln a person, lmao.

So does he have anything to back up his claim about non-UK residents being able to join in, because that doesn't sound normal to me, a person entirely unfamiliar with current UK consumer protection laws.

Yeah I know I was being sarcastic, obviously it's the lawyers & whoever is funding this crap that would really benefit if they won anything

Your comment has no links and Twitter has viewing turned off for non-members (or banned members like me) anyway.

Edit: Oh, I see a different comment.
Edit 2: I read your link and it says its limited to UK residents only. You could have just said that he's wrong.
