Have you purchased a Sony PlayStation in the last couple of years? Then you may be eligible to claim this money! In a shocking turn of events, Sony is being sued for more than £5 billion on behalf of almost nine million PlayStation players. Sony has been accused of overpriced games and in-game purchases from the players. A report by Sun reported that the legal claim centers on a 30 percent commission the company takes on every digital game and in-game purchase made through its PlayStation Store.

"With this legal action I am standing up for the millions of UK people who have been unwittingly overcharged. We believe Sony has abused its position and ripped off its customers," the report quoted Alex Neill, who is leading the claim against Sony. According to the claim, Sony has overcharged as much as £5 billion over the last six years from UK consumers. This has affected millions of PlayStation users in the last few years.
