California Man Sues Sony Because Killzone: Shadowfall Isn't Really 1080

Posted by timothy on from the gaming-culture dept.

Sonny Yatsen (603655) writes A California man with nothing better to do has launched a class-action lawsuit against Sony because he claims he was harmed because Killzone: Shadowfall's multiplayer mode doesn't have native 1080p resolution as Sony originally claimed. He now demands 'all economic, monetary, actual, consequential, statutory and compensatory damages' as well as punitive damages from Sony.

    One one hand, this is a stupid frivolous lawsuit, but on the other hand game publishers have been feeding us so much bullshit and lies that I wish this guy would win just to make a point.

    Now go after them for their blatant false advertising:

    "OWN $MOVIE ON BLU-RAY TODAY!!!", when they later actually claim that you don't own the movie.

    I think your interpretation is incorrect. The sentence says you own $MOVIE, which is on "BLU-RAY". You are giving them credit for saying "Own Blu-Ray with $MOVIE on it". YMMV
