Mass Effect 2 Secrets Revealed
10 hours 5 mins ago
Remember this fella? The agoraphobic, OCD gamer who sued Sony for banning him from PSN? Oh, and followed it up with an appeal, too? You might remember that he mentioned gaming on his 360 and Wii. And of course, this strange little man has decided to sue Microsoft and Nintendo as well, for the RRoD and a firmware update respectively. Apparently he has nothing better to do.
Microsoft is being sued for a “red ring of death” affecting the plaintiff’s Xbox 360 console. Estavillo notes that as he is disabled, he cannot afford to pay the “well over $100” fee to fix the console, nor can he afford to purchase a new one. He feels “that Microsoft should have to bear the burden that is now put on the shoulders of this disabled plaintiff.”
Estavillo is seeking $75,000 from Microsoft, due to the “undue stress” he has undergone since the 360 broke and the “sadness he will have in the mean time of finding one he can afford.”
The same complaint targets Nintendo over a Wii system update. Estavillo claims that update 4.3 disabled his Homebrew Channel, which he used to unlock characters in Mario Kart Wii. Plaintiff states that the only way to unlock characters in Mario Kart Wii is to purchase Super Mario Galaxy, which will unlock a single character in the former title. “In essence, Nintendo is forcing customers to buy another game to unlock one character in a different game.”

God this kid is stupid.
Though I think that there was 1 other though much harder way to get rosalina.
Yes I think you have to do a lot of time trials if I'm not mistaken.
How old is this douche anyway?
Wow...maybe I should sue God! He's interfering with MY pursuit of happiness!
also, lets see, he admitted to having a Homebrew channel on his Wii, and last time i checked that counted as MODDING, which is not supported or encouraged by Nintendo, and might even be illegal.
so good luck with winning the lawsuits there, he will be laughed out of court. MS and Nintendo have money to hire good lawyers. now i could see MS making a nice gesture and waiving the fee of repairing his Xbox, but they are damn sure not gonna fork over 75 grand just cause Mr Whiney Bitch is sad that his system red ringed.
seriously, his Crohn's disease is the only legitimate thing he "suffers" from out of all the other things. OCD? please, you dont suffer from that, you just have to make everything neat and tidy, big deal. i got a good idea, instead of wasting all this time and money on frivolous lawsuits, how about you, oh i dont know, SEE AN EFFING SHRINK for these neurological disorders?!?!?! jackass.
Guys like him are what fat greasy old men are to strippers.
For the sake of this guys living.
2. Having OCD has nothing to do with playing video games, unless you like going to a specific part of a game fifty times in a row in a particular matter.
3. See number 1.
4. See number 1.
5. Watch what you eat and you won't have to worry about Crohn's Disease. One of my teachers last year has it and he just avoids drinking milk whenever possible.
Throwing this case out isn't enough. The judge needs to backhand this guy and knock some sense into him.
Though we'd be left with only 5 people or so =D
P.S. Couldn't think of anything relevant to the article. You guys took all the good comments.
