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.

Not that great, but it’s a start. [...]
