I never played Starcraft over LAN so w/e. User generated co-op maps for the win.
Exactly.

and I hate gameloft games anyway, so no big loss.
@ERock

I purchased a new console 2 weeks before the ban. It shipped with the ability to copy to hard drive as well as steam media from my computer. Your current argument makes sense for older consoles, but every single banned console including ones that can be purchased today, hacked, and banned lose those abilities.
@Bryan I know, because I'm using it still. But when they banned us from xbl they also removed hardware functionality. Since I paid for the hardware and I own it I'm technically allowed to still use it in any way I please as long as I purchase games from now on. The problems are minor, but still significant as a beach of fair use.
The first reason? Stupid. The second? Kinda makes sense. I lost the ability to play games I paid for and use the hard drive that I also paid for to install games.

If that gets fixed, yay. If not, no sweat. its really small beans and I'm surprised at what constitutes a lawsuit these days.
@Billy I agree. Loose the Italics.

The rest of the comment system, including hiding replies, is absolutely fantastic. :D
Being one of those people, I totally understand that I lost my $40 (or whatever pro-rated) to MS after getting banned. I'm not whining about it in the slightest. I understood going in that it would happen eventually. This lawsuit is a complete farce in my eyes.

Now if you were going to sue for the inability to install games to the hard drive, or stream video from your computer that would be a different story. I have the right to modify my console any way I want to, and breaking hardware functionality is not the same as disconnecting me from a service where I broke the TOS.

All in all it's small beans. I did wrong, MS did wrong back. It's a wash really, and I came out ahead for a few years so no big deal.
Hopefully it comes to verizon as rumored beginning of next year.. I'm totally ready, but I can't stand sprint :P
@Ghen yes it does work!
Hopefully this works!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
