PlayStation 2 Settlement
Just when you thought it was safe to buy another Sony product… “Lawsuits were filed regarding the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system models 30001, 30001R, 35001, 39001, 39010, 50001, and 50010 (PS2). The plaintiffs in those cases claim that certain inappropriate 'Disc Read Error' messages are displayed. They also claim that some PS2s fail to play and that some of them cause damage to CDs or DVDs during playback. The companies that were sued, including Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA), say they did not do anything wrong and there is nothing wrong with the PS2.” They didn't do anything wrong, and there's nothing wrong with the PS2… just like there's nothing wrong with the CDs that shipped with a rootkit on 'em. Makes you wonder if the PS3 is worth waiting for after all? At least I can toggle my WLAN switch on the PSP.
