Recently, Yale student Jesse Maiman flew from New Haven to Cincinnati with U.S. Airways. When he arrived at his destination he discovered that his Xbox was no longer in his luggage. He went to talk with U.S. Airways, and says he was given, "an unconscionable runaround."
Maiman estimates the value of his Xbox at $1000 because he has upgraded several parts.
What "upgraded" means in the gamer world is that Maiman has modded his xbox to copy games, play old games on old systems, and do many other things which violate every copyright infringement law that exists.
Maiman has now brought suit against U.S. Airways for $1 million dollars because of:
the unconscionable runaround he received
the cost of the system
time spent "upgrading" his system
If you are reading this I ask you pause and for a moment of silence in remembrance of Mr. Maiman's lost Xbox. I wouldn't wish such a loss on any gamer. I can only hope he finds a way to replace his long lost love before his thumbs forget the sweet sweet feel of a Microsoft joystick.
