Microsoft is being sued for a ?red ring of death? affecting the plaintiff?s Xbox 360 console. Estavillo notes that as he is disabled, he cannot afford to pay the ?well over $100? fee to fix the console, nor can he afford to purchase a new one. He feels ?that Microsoft should have to bear the burden that is now put on the shoulders of this disabled plaintiff.?
Estavillo is seeking $75,000 from Microsoft, due to the ?undue stress? he has undergone since the 360 broke and the ?sadness he will have in the mean time of finding one he can afford.?
The same complaint targets Nintendo over a Wii system update. Estavillo claims that update 4.3 disabled his Homebrew Channel, which he used to unlock characters in Mario Kart Wii. Plaintiff states that the only way to unlock characters in Mario Kart Wii is to purchase Super Mario Galaxy, which will unlock a single character in the former title. ?In essence, Nintendo is forcing customers to buy another game to unlock one character in a different game.?
Damages to the tune of $5,000 are sought from Nintendo, for interfering in plaintiff?s ?pursuit of happiness.?
Estavillo says he suffers from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia and Crohn?s disease, all of which lead to his leaning on videogames ?heavily? for happiness.
