Depends on the state. Attorneys are allowed in Florida small claims courts. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't be forced into class action if you don't want to be.
You're absolutely right, but I believe that people should be at least made aware that there are other methods of obtaining justice aside from a class-action. Especially when the "justice" afforded by most class-actions is meager at best & insulting at worst.
In Florida you can only appeal to a Circuit court to review the law, not the facts. The law for property damage is pretty cut & dry here. If they don't pay, you can put a lien on any real property they have until they do so. You can also have a sheriff seize non real estate property to be sold to pay your judgment.
You can bet your ass I would especially after seeing how easy default judgements are to obtain when the other side doesn't show up. Taking off of work is no problem for me, even on short notice. Hell, I can work at home when I need to.
We aren't talking about a repair. You simply add that cost on top of the cost for a new PS3. Most small claims courts limit damages from $500 - $1500. Florida's happens to be $5000. My step-father has taken a few renters to small claims over damages or back rent & the lost wages addition is pretty standard.
If you think about it, wouldn't it hurt Sony more if everyone that was harmed by Sony's "update" took them to small claims court? They'd have to send a lawyer & in some jurisdictions, they'd actually have to send an officer of the company. If no one shows up, they lose by default. Class action lawsuits are there to make things easier on the legal system & on lawyers, but you know what? Screw both of them.
MicroStation is even more expensive. BTW, which version of AutoCAD were you using that had a hardware dongle? I've been drafting for over 13 years now & haven't run across one.
If you are able to sue 23 corporations that are also competitors for infringing on your patent, doesn't that pretty much mean it's an obvious, non-unique patent & should be thrown out?
You're getting screwed by your favorite shop. I bought my 8 GiB Memory Stick at Wal-Mart for $32. Here is a hint, look in the camera department & not the games department. Still quite a bit more then an equivalent SD card though.
I've a cracked PSP & can honestly say I've never pirated a single PSP UMD game. I do however have emulators & ROMs on it for every NES, SNES, Gameboy, SMS & Genesis game I've ever owned. As well as all of my PS1 games which run natively after a little tweaking. I also have PSP versions of Tyrian, Quake & a E-Book reader on there.

The article specifically state that this DLC will not be in the Collectors Edition.

Oh wow, I had no idea those ancient consoles had accessories like that. Of course, I was like 3 when the Atari 2600 debuted.
You're correct about that, I confused exclusive & and inclusive. Everything else I've stated stands.
In Florida you can file a lien on real property or have a sheriff seize property and sell it to pay you your judgment.

Well if you want to pedantic about it, the GameCube, Nintendo64, PS2 & Dreamcast all had networking capability of some form or another.

Well, other than this game at least. :D

Ah ok. It must have been r13 cause we went from r12 to r14 & neither of those had dongles.
MicroStation is even more expensive. BTW, which version of AutoCAD were you using that had a hardware dongle? I've been drafting for over 13 years now & haven't run across one.
And you're a waste of skin, so what's your point?
And no, that kid actually lives in New York & is a lot younger than me, but thanks for trying Mr. Internet stalker!
Or just use Firefox. Wow, that's a lot easier!

That was a complete 180 degree turn-around on Palm's part.
Bingo.
It's not Alpha Centauri but I happen to really like it myself.
Therefore, in my opinion, your opinion sucks.
Ooh, a PSP port of Battle for Wesnoth would be awesome!

Great point, I've got about 20 UMD games for my PSP. I bought exactly 3 of them new.
I've a cracked PSP & can honestly say I've never pirated a single PSP UMD game. I do however have emulators & ROMs on it for every NES, SNES, Gameboy, SMS & Genesis game I've ever owned.

I think you may be confusing the media for the PSP.
UMD = Little bitty optical disc in a protective case. Not writable. I think they can hold 1.4GiB of data.
Memory Stick = Sony's proprietary Flash-type media. I think these go up to 16GiB now.
