I received my PS3 "OtherOS" class action lawsuit settlement payment yesterday: $10.07.

Have other members received settlements yet? More, less, or the same amount?

[We previously covered this in PlayStation 3 "OtherOS" Class Action Settlement Claims End on April 15 . Whatever happened to the $65 settlement that was mentioned there? --Ed.]

    3.7 is not quite a few... I'd bet they also expended more than $3.7M fighting the suit, even if the total were $10M - we're talking 0.2% of annual profits, less than a day's take home...

    So, if they screw up and get penalized like this 100 times per year, that's 20% of profits... I think it's safe to say it's all about the PR, and virtually nothing about the $10 checks or the lawyers' fees.
