San Francisco - A class action suit has been filed against Sony Computer Entertainment America, over firmware updates for the PlayStation 3 that allegedly "bricked" some owners' consoles, refusing to play Blu-ray discs after installation, Ars Technica reports.

The PS3 v3.00 firmware update, released in September, allegedly caused Florida resident John Kennedy's console to stop functioning. Kennedy's lawsuit alleges breach of implied warranty, negligence, unjust enrichment, and negligent misrepresentation.

Sony, which had yet to respond to the lawsuit to Ars, typically charges a $150 repair fee per unit.
