[News] MS sued over idiots misusing their consoles

That's nice.

And your point is what exactly?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The opening post was utterly pathetic. Posting news here is fine but just posting a single paragraph of a news story and a link is not the way to create a thread. Put some discussion in it, your own thoughts at the very least.

As far as this goes, the fucker is suing MS for $50,000. The whole thing is clearly some dude hoping to make a couple of grand out of an out of court settlement and a firm of lawyers looking to make a name for themselves by representing him. Inevitably MS will show that somewhere in the reams of fine-print that comes with the thing it says "Don't shake your console while it's running", this'll get laughed out of court and the guy will end up bankrupt when MS's lawyers bill drops on his doormat.

American litigation culture remains as ridiculous and hilarious to the rest of the world as it always has, a few Sony fantards jump up and down over how early models of the 360 would break your games if you shook them, something entirely common knowledge to everyone, ever and that's it. Fuck it, even if they pay him the $50,000 that's about 4 seconds profit for MS.

The only surprising thing about this is that the idiot lawyers didn't press him to pursue a class action case, involving a load of people who've suffered the same problem. The payout would have been higher and the case a shitload more high profile. They'd probably still have lost but would have got a load more publicity out of it and be more likely to actually get their fees paid. Fucking noobs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd hardly call plumping for shorter loading times for the vast majority of the userbase who've had no disc scratching issues over protecting the stupid fucks who like to play catch with their consoles while they're switched on a dumb decision. Every time I watch the Little Big Planet loading screen I'm less tempted to buy a PS3, short loading times for everyone are definitely worth fucking up a few dickhead's games for.

And anyway, after the first disc got fucked, why did he stick two more in rather than take the thing back to the shop for a replacement?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I tend to play Halo in a party or private chat so you don't have to listen to anyone else. I also tend to mute anyone with a high pitched voice directly from the lobby, to save having to do it during the match when they start screaming.

You get virtually no screaming or sweary people in Rainbow vs battles and literally none in co-op which is probably what I play most of online. I think it is generally only whatever the game de jour that attracts the screaming kids, mainly because they don't have the spare cash to buy a lot of games so they only get the most popular ones and trade in for the next big thing when it comes along.

Even in games where you do get a bunch of Septics calling everyone a nigger, just mute em, leave negative feedback and move on to the next game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

OP and Skills have special filters set that only allow people with more than 35,000 gamerpoints to join their matches, hence the preponderance of annoying people and the lack of anyone playing anything other than Call of Duty or Gears of War.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh no, I'm not disagreeing with you at all, the internet is chock full of wankers. I do find they gravitate to the more popular games of the time though and was making a slightly digging reference to the fact that it's likely that you and Skills will be playing whatever that happens to be at any given time (Because you play a lot of games and all).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
