Rediculous.

Should I also sue my local arcade because I can only change $1, $5, and $10 amounts (no quarters allowed) and my favorite game is 5 or 6 quarters ($1.25/$1.50)? Get real.

What do you do? Find something to play with those remaining quarters, or buy more. Stop crying about it.

My "local" arcade, which isn't local anymore, took quarters rather tokens. Therefore, I could spend the extra quarters elsewhere if I chose.

Every "local arcade" I ever went to used quarters. You put a dollar or five dollars into the machine and out came a bunch of quarters.

What is ridiculous is spelling ridiculous wrong when you're flaming people.

Maybe he was refering to this lawsuit being communistic, therefore red.

I doubt it, but it would have worked out if he were cleverer.

Still yet to hear a good reason WHY they should set the values of points you can buy on XBL as 500,1000 and 2000, when virtually everything costs 400,800,1200 etc.

Because there's simply no good reason other than to screw people. How is that acceptable? Why make ANY excuse for a practice like that?
