Rock Band Creators Hit With Class Action Lawsuit

GameCyteSean writes "GameCyte is reporting that Harmonix, EA, MTV and Viacom have been targeted by a class action lawsuit. Customers allege that the companies knowingly shipped defective bass drum pedals for the music game Rock Band, then exploited customers' necessity for replacements by having the game's hardware warranty extension expire just as the sequel, Rock Band 2 — a game with improved pedals — was scheduled to release." I wonder if we'll see a similar suit against Neversoft and Activision over the equipment problems related to the Guitar Hero World Tour launch.

When Ford makes a car that stops working immediately after the warranty expires, people just shrug and act like it's expected. But if it's a broken fake bass drum pedal--UPROAR!

Always thought all Ford does is making cars that barely work until the warranty expires... It's not like they have that kind of control and expertise :)
