 Class Action Lawsuit Claims Final Fantasy XIII Destroys PS3 Consoles
By Sarah Pierce Looks like Sony is in hot water again for yet another PlayStation 3 snafu. In April we told you about a class action lawsuit filed against Sony over its removal of the OS function on PlayStation3. Now a new class action lawsuit has been filed against Sony alleging some copies of Final Fantasy XIII are damaging PS3 consoles. The class action lawsuit claims the game causes “severe damage” when played on PS3, including freezing the gaming console and making it “totally and permanently inoperable," a phenomenon known as "bricking." Even if the PS3 system doesn’t brick, many consumers find they are unable to play Final Fantasy XIII without it constantly freezing, making the game worthless. The class action lawsuit claims both Sony, the maker of PlayStation 3, and Square Enix, the maker of Final Fantasy XIII, are aware of the damage being caused by their products, but have done little about it except to blame each other for the problem. The class action lawsuit is seeking to make both companies liable for the property damage and to reimburse consumers for their losses, which could be upwards of $560.

 Employees Sue Bank of America for Unpaid Overtime and WagesBy Sarah Pierce Bank of America employees have filed a class action lawsuit claiming the bank failed to pay them overtime and other wages. More than a dozen lawsuits were combined into the class action lawsuit, which could affect as many as 180,000 Bank of America employees if it’s approved. The class action lawsuit alleges Bank of America requires employees to work more than eight hours a day or 40 hours a week, yet fails to pay them for both overtime and for all straight time worked, according to a news report. Another news report says the employees claim they were told not to record their overtime and even had their recorded hours modified by Bank of America to eliminate any incurred overtime. The lawsuit also accuses Bank of America of requiring employees to work during unpaid breaks, failing to provide meal and rest breaks, and failing to pay terminated employees for earned wages and accrued vacation time in a timely manner. The class action lawsuit is seeking back pay and other damages for class members in addition to attorney fees, and could be worth more than $100 million.
