Clearly someone just wants a little attention...
(Semi Quoted Story)

"Erik Estavillo was banned from the PlayStation Network for hateful comments stated in Resistance's online community. He then launched not one, but two, lawsuits against Sony for infringing on his "first amendment rights" -- an argument that was shot down by Judge Ronald Whyte simply because "Sony is not part of the government."

In addition to Sony, he now has both Microsoft and Nintendo in his sights. Estavillo is seeking $75,000 from Microsoft for the "undue stress" and "sadness" caused by his Xbox 360's RROD. "Microsoft should have to bear the burden that is now put on the shoulders of this disabled plaintiff," his claim states - a burden that is equivalent to the sum of 375 Xbox 360 systems, apparently. Nintendo is being sued for interfering with Estavillo's "pursuit of happiness." And how exactly is Nintendo doing that? "Deleting, blocking or prohibiting the Homebrew Channel and Ocarina applications" via a system update.

What do you guys think of this? I mean clearly this guy just wanted to get some money out of a big corperation... I couldn't believe this when I saw it in my twitter feed...

"SOMEONE PUT ME OUT!!!"

I would like to sue that guy for stupidity. I'd have a better chance of winning than he would. Infringing upon his 1st Amendment rights? Undue stress? Interfering with his pursuit of happiness? Are you kidding me?!

That's hilarious. I once talked to a guy on Ventrilo who ended up getting universally banned for having an aimbot in bf2. He said he planned to sue Sony for banning him because he illegally modified his Playstation 3 to see if he could run a hack on it. It was pretty funny, but not as funny as this!

This dude is a damned idiot. I cannot believe this guy. Idiocracy has never made more sense.

The world is filled with quick buck ideas like this and unfortunately sueing people seems to be a popular trend.

Always look on ... the briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight side of life.

That guy is a jerkI'm going to sue him for getting in the way of my pursute of happines

He's the reason America gets labeled as a bunch of idiots.

Arg overload of idiocy.

DOLLARS!!

The odds of him actually winning is practically ZERO

I don't like the RROD or the fact that Nintendo blocks homebrew, but filing a freakin' LAWSUIT!? Seriously. Get over it. There are ways around both those problems.Also, if you don't want to be banned from PSN, don't be an arse on there. Personally I think this guy should look at how good he has it. He has all three consoles.
