Fishy indeed.

 

[john tv]

I can't believe there was a suit over this. Don't people have better/more important things to do with their time?

I totally want my 34 cents!

What are the possible benefits of this settlement? (top)
If you are a Class Member who has experienced the alleged problems described above, and you return a completed claim form by the appropriate deadline, you could receive one of the following benefits:

* a check for $25 U.S. (or $31 Canadian); or
* one PS2 game from a specified list; or
* repair or replacement – at SCEA’s option – of a PS2 experiencing the above described alleged problems. That repair may be free for some members of the Recent Purchasers Subclass or may cost $41 ($51 Canada) for other members of that subclass as well as for members of the Repair Fee Subclass and the Loss of Use Subclass. You will need to pay the cost to ship the PS2 to and from SCEA’s authorized service provider. This benefit is subject to the service provider confirming that the PS2 has one of the alleged problems described above.

Depending on which subclass you are in, and the level of proof you submit, you may have the option to choose one benefit from among the choices. More specific information about how to tell which benefits you may be eligible for is found below.

A free game? If it isn't good, I can always use it for trade bait. Is this legit though or crap?

I had a PS2 fucked because of read errors...so far my newest PS2 is doing ok. Ironicly, i also had a XBOX die because of read errors

[Wario64]

i havent had any DRE's either, except for the OPM demos. but demos are usually screwed so i'm not worried


the compensation is pretty shitty though. $25 or a free game? that's nothing. it's probably gonna be a GH game too

 

[koam]

My PS2 died on me. I got rid of it though I've since bought a PStwo and haven't had any problems.

I tried to sign up for this, but you need the receipt, and need to have called Sony within 13 months of purchase. Hopefully something comes of this, so Sony can offer free repairs again, and they fucking learn for PS3.
