The settlement dollar value has already been decided. If you don’t claim your $35 than the lawyers will probably just keep it. Why would you want to give more money to greedy lawyers to prove you aren’t a douche? The only acceptable thing to do here would be to collect your $35 from the lawyers and then promptly mail the money to Take Two Interactive.

Dave Mills,

You should register with the site, join the forum, and introduce yourself to everyone. Even though you aren’t an avid gamer, maybe three free games will rectify that.

Mr. Demon,

I am afraid I have to disagree with the point you make in regards to judges and juries throwing this type of suit out. From my understanding, this is a settlement that has been reached by both parties to avoid a lengthy legal battle. In other words, the jury never had an opportunity to hear the case.

I would argue that the true villain is TakeTwo Interactive Software. Instead of standing up to these bastards, who clearly never get laid, they decided that it would be more cost effective to settle. At some point you have to say the hell with money and fight for your rights.

I am not an avid gamer; but I will be damned if my gaming options are limited in the future because of whiny, litigious people.

I have a conscience… or however it’s spelled. I think that things like this are insanely stupid. The fact that people are so greedy and stupid to go for something like makes me weep for the future. I understand the lawyers a little, I mean, it’s their job to try and make money from stupid things like this, but it’s judges and juries jobs to throw this shit out of court. This is, to me, at the same level as someone breaking into a store and then suing the owners because they cut their arm climbing through the window.

I been wondering if I am a douchebag. I also been wondering if looking for a receipt in my receipt tin is worth $35 bucks. Funny thing is that if I did claim, I would have literally made a 5$ profit if you don’t count tax then it would only be like $3 bucks since compusa advertised the game for $30 and I had cc price match it…

I am however quite certain that I’m distressed enough over the xbox controls to swallow my conscious and sit at the table with these lawyers for a refund because that game sucked pretty bad.

Of course I’m still not sure whether to bother looking for the receipt… It’s free money though right? no one else in america has a conscious so why should I?

Well said Dan. The whole thing was screwed up from the start. It’s wrong to be able to screw your girfriend, but here, have this other copy where you can still kill her instead! As you say, the only winners here (apart from publicity for Rockstar of course) are the lawyers.
