Hm actually our checks are from a different suit? Mine is specific to
All individuals and entities who purchased graphics processing card products online from the websites of ATI Technologies ULC (shop.ati.com) or Nvidia Corporation (www.nvidia.com) in the United States during the period from December 4, 2002 to November 7, 2007.

I wonder if i can double dip...

What criminal statute did they violate?

What a weird fuckin comment.

False advertising can be pursued under federal law by the Federal Trade Commission.

Has anyone heard anything from this? I just stumbled upon the paperwork for it again and it seems as though it should have been settled by now.
