Frivolous and foolish and people just looking for money. These cases are almost always bullcrap. Frivolous and foolish and people just looking for money.

Last I remember after the 3.0 update I didn't even know about the 3.01 update until I read it about here. I was surprised that it didn't force me to update once I tried to do anything online. Maybe the "victims" have a case, maybe they don't. A lot of it will depend on the condition of the system similar to that case a few years ago where someone shipped in a bricked PS3 that looked like it was rolled around in dirt. Sony refused to repair the system and rightly so considering the owner didn't take care of it either. I'm usually not one to rule in favor of the billion dollar corporation but I also don't think it's fair to sue when the customer is clearly in the wrong and simply exploiting the company because they feel that the company has enough money to spare.
