Eligible PS Vita owners are now clear to collect on their class action winnings

With the suit against Sony concluded and an agreement met, gamers are now clear to get some digital goodies, a check, or PSN credit.

First, if you’re asking yourself what the heck this is all about, it’s pretty simple. A while ago, Sony was sued by a group of unhappy consumers who claimed that the company engaged in a little false-advertising around the launch of the PS Vita. Turns out that a court agreed with them and labeled Sony liable.

So now that things are wrapped up, there’s a trio of options for the affected gamers to get in on. All you need to do to collect is to head over to vitaclaims.com. There you’ll fill out a brief questionnaire and enter your Vita’s serial number. If you’re eligible to take advantage of the ruling, you’ll then be able to pick from a check for $25.00 USD, a PSN credit for $25.00 USD, or a game pack from the below options, all of which are worth a lot more than the amounts above, but all of which are way less enticing.

• The action adventure bundle ($92.95): God of War Collection, Beyond: Two Souls, Twisted Metal for PS3 and Unit 13 for Vita.
• The “family friendly” bundle ($100.46): LittleBigPlanet 2 and Puppeteer on PS3 with Uncharted: Golden Abyss and ModNation Racers: Road Trip on the Vita.
• The variety pack ($66.46): God of War Collection and LittleBigPlanet 2 on PS3 with ModNation Racers: Road Trip and Unit 13 on Vita.

Just a note on that eligibility too, you’re ‘in’ if you bought your console around launch, which is why they need your serial number.
