  • Gamer sues Nintendo and Microsoft

    From Joystiq

    After being banned from the PlayStation Network for hateful comments stated in Resistance's online community, Erik Estavillo launched not one, but two, lawsuits against Sony for infringing on his "first amendment rights" -- an argument that was shot down by Judge Ronald Whyte simply because "Sony is not part of the government."

    However, what Estavillo lacks in civil online discourse, he makes up for with sheer determination and persistence. In addition to Sony, he now has both Microsoft and Nintendo in his sights. Estavillo is seeking $75,000 from Microsoft for the "undue stress" and "sadness" caused by his Xbox 360's RROD. "Microsoft should have to bear the burden that is now put on the shoulders of this disabled plaintiff," his claim states -- a burden that is equivalent to the sum of 375 Xbox 360 systems, apparently. Nintendo is being sued for interfering with Estavillo's "pursuit of happiness." And how exactly is Nintendo doing that? "Deleting, blocking or prohibiting the Homebrew Channel and Ocarina applications" via a system update.

    We're hoping you can see the sheer brilliance of Estavillo's strategy. He's offering the perfect opportunity for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo fans to agree on something for once.
    Only in America.

      I don't see why you couldn't sue Sony from anywhere in the world. The Playstation 3 is sold everywhere, and can be played online from anywhere. So I guess "Only in everywhere" applies.

      --|-- Question: What is the average male penis size in humans? (erect in inches)

      --|-- Ease got the correct answer, '5.3 inches', in 6.379 sec. and is tied for the lead with 2 pts.

          i'm surprised some dumbshit hasn't tried sticking a wii-mote up their ass and gotten it stuck, then sued nintendo for not offering up a warning against using the device as a sex toy.

          fixed, sort of

              Yes, what I mean is you could say "Happening in America" but that "Only in America" doesn't apply. There are greedy crazy people everywhere. And Sony can be sued from anywhere.
