Banned Resistance player appeals, sues for even bigger money |
Ó
Some guys just don't get it. Remember Erik Estavillo? He was banned from playing Resistance: Fall of Man
and the PlayStation Network earlier this year, prompting him to sue
Sony for "pain and suffering" caused by the ban, as well as for the
money he still had in his PSN account that he can no longer access.His case was dismissed last September 22nd since there was no plausible claim for relief via First Amendment.
The case, however, isn't closed just yet folks.
Estavillo filed an appeal via the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on October 19th. That's not all. On October 14th, he also filed a civil lawsuit against SCEA in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara for US$ 180,000 - that's more than three times larger than the US$ 55,000 he wanted from his previous lawsuit. Nothing else seems to have changed from his last attempt.
With his PSN account banned, Estavillo told GamePolitics that he's currently playing Metroid Trilogy on his Wii and MK vs. DC on his Xbox 360, adding that he enjoys playing as The Joker and that he may be "a bit obsessed" with the character. "“I plan to wear a purple suit during my court trials. No joke!” he said.
With no lawyer to take his case, Estavillo will be representing himself, and in a purple suit no less. By this time, not only would he be challenging the might of the Sony banhammer, but the patience of the judge's hammer as well.

No lawyer? No wonder your dumbass' case got dismissed. Idiots out there these days...
LOL WOT A FOOL!!!!
HAHA HE REALLY IS A LIVING, BREATHING JOKER!
He loves playing Joker... and if he picked up Arkham Asylum.. he'd need his PS3 to play as Joker
Buddy needs to stop being a douche and just accept his ban and make a new PSN account.
he seems to be making it ok with his Wii and 360.
I thought the same thing about Batmat:AA while reading the article.
Yeah....He's so happy, that he's not about to *DOH* again at the judge....Oh wait, he is! If he likes it so much would he care?
I guess I would just change my account...Or do they trace the ip?Or the console #? Well back to uncharted....:)
Sony is wide open for a class action negligence suit and he sues for pain and suffering?
if he's all happy and 'obsessed' with his wii n 360 where's the pain and suffering??
Classy
he said he is playing mk vs dc universe on his 360 which has joker on it..
