> To get the $55, a gamer "must attest under oath to their purchase of the product and installation of Linux, provide proof of their purchase or serial number and PlayStation Network Sign-in ID, and submit some proof of their use of the Other OS functionality." To get the $9, PS3 owners must submit a claim that, at the time they bought their console, they "knew about the Other OS, relied upon the Other OS functionality, and intended to use the Other OS functionality."

I seriously doubt very much money will be payed out to users if this settlement is approved.

I'm sure the lawyers would be happy with it though:

That payout is equal to around ~40909 users who are able to prove they used the Other OS functionality. I'm doubtful that many exist.
