Sony Settles PS2 Lawsuit
Sony has settled its “disc read error” lawsuit by compensating the affected gamers with USD $25, a free game from a specified list, and (of course) the reduced cost repair or replacement (at SCEA’s discretion) of the damaged system. This settlement is subject to the courts’ approval, and hearings will begin in the US and Canada on April 28, 2006, and May 11, 2006, respectively.

[…] We all remember the PS2 launch, the hundreds of thousands of broken systems in the first year, everyone being forced to pay $99 to get them fixed for an admitted problem, etc. You might have thought that would have ended with the class action lawsuit that was slapped on Sony a few years later, where Sony settled out of court and offered to pay each owner with problems $25 and also give them a free game from a specified list, and (of course) the reduced cost repair or replacement (at SCEA’s discretion) of the damaged system. Not that great, but it’s a start. […]
