Optical Disk Drive Class Action (US Residents Only)

[psyang]

Edit: Thanks to Fuzz: you needed to have been a resident of one of the 24 states/districts when the purchase was made. See the full list in Fuzz's post after this one.


This seems similar to the RAM class action suit a couple years ago.

There is now a class action suit against optical disk drive manufacturers for inflating their prices between 2003 and 2008.

Right now they are collecting names. You can earn up to $10/computer you purchased between those years that contain an ODD.

As usual, sign up at your own risk. You must sign up before July 1, 2017.

Link to sign up.

Looks to be US only:

1. You purchased a new computer with an internal ODD, a stand-alone ODD designed for internal use in a computer, or an ODD designed to be attached externally to a computer for your own use and not for resale;
2. You made this purchase while a resident of Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wisconsin; and
3. You made this purchase between April 1, 2003 and December 31, 2008.

Thanks for the clarification - that probably rules out most people on here, but maybe it will still benefit a few. I'll edit my original post.

Huh, I actually qualify for this and am positive I did buy an ODD back then. I suspect a receipt or something will ultimately be needed and there is 0 chance I come up with that.

The RAM class action didn't require a receipt.
