Sony Looks to Settle PS2 "Disc Read Error" Lawsuit

A Class action lawsuit was filed against Sony Computer Entertainment because of the sheer number of people who have experienced the notorious "Disc Read Error" from their Playstation 2 video game consoles.

If you experienced the "Disc Read Error" from your PS2, and are a part of the necessary class, you may be entitled to one of the following:

-a check for $25 U.S. (or $31 Canadian); or

-one PS2 game from a specified list; or

-repair or replacement - at SCEA's option - of a PS2 experiencing the above described alleged problems. That repair may be free for some members of the Recent Purchasers Subclass or may cost $41 ($51 Canada) for other members of that subclass as well as for members of the Repair Fee Subclass and the Loss of Use Subclass. You will need to pay the cost to ship the PS2 to and from SCEA's authorized service provider. This benefit is subject to the service provider confirming that the PS2 has one of the alleged problems described above.
