It's one thing when Sony is trying to dump rootkits on your PC. Here, however, Nintendo - probably the last vestige of a true gaming corporation that listens to its customerbase - voluntarily investigates the matter and voluntarily recalls the product for replacement with a re-designed strap. What else are they supposed to do? Am I really supposed to believe that a gaming joypad having a defective strap (currently available via a limited launch) has led to nation-wide chaos, mayhem, destruction, illness, serious bodily injury, death, mental anguish/suffering, etc? Mine hasn't killed me (yet?). Now Nintendo will have to waste loads of both time and money on lawyers, court costs, etc. And where will the majority of this money go? Into slimy lawyer's pockets and maybe one (or a few) lucky class representatives. This has NOTHING to do with consumer protection, just some lawyers using an opportunity to get rich at the EXPENSE of consumers and making a joke of the "justice" system. Review the facts and the likely outcome, and tell me who wins. Honestly, I hope these lawyers suffer excruciatingly painful deaths. Some type of spreading anal cancer.
