Sony is facing many lawsuits claiming the company's latest firmware update has caused major hardware issues and that Sony is going to charge to $150 to fix what the firmware broke.

Sony hasn't responded to the claims yet but it seems to be working for the customers implying that Sony Customer Service was trying to claim the hardware failures were coincidental issues.
