but why would you want to. everyone is so sue happy its retarded. especially when it involves software and products that cost no more than a couple hundred.
If your xbox blew up and mangled your face, you wont have no trouble getting a settlement and even a notorized signed agreement can be thrown out by a judge if they see fit.
tired of babies crying cause they can't get online. sueing for such is gay. Viruses happen, networks shut down..why sue? Americans can be pathetic.

No one said they were sue happy but it's a type of rule that's being deemed illegal because it's there to try to restrict your freedom and right when a service does something illegal against you or causes you harm.

If they were to for example sell off your credit card information are you saying it's fine because they said you can't sue them then?

It's being removed to allow this option in case of such a situation.

looks to me like their trying to get more people to resolve their issues through them rather than immediately sueing or joining a class action suit.

But my point remains...what kind of nancy really needs to sue them over some cheap software and hardware. as far as financial or physical harm, its more likely a judge would throw out their agreement in such a rare...rare case. plenty of signed and notorized agreements get dismissed from judges all the time. i watch judge judy :)

It doesn't restrict the freedom to not agree to the terms and to discontinue use of their services. I don't see anything wrong with a corporation trying to protect itself.

Oh wait, I mean micro$haft amirite???1?

The problems is if what they are getting you to agree to is illegal it's not something that matters but this is used by a lot more then just microsoft and last I checked sony is doing it also.

So you are fine paying for a service for a year or two then all of a sudden expects you to sign a agreement that's illegal and restricts your freedom?
