Lost Xbox 360 Worth $1,000,000?

Description

Just how much is a lost Xbox 360 worth? Could it be $83,333 per week? $11,111 per day? $463 per hour? Make that $1 million total, or how much either an extraordinarily irate or incredibly enterprising Yale film major is suing US Airways for, after someone with the airline allegedly swiped or lost his Xbox 360 on or around December 17, 2008 during a flight from New Haven to Cincinnati. $1 million is the maximum amount allowable by law.

The Xbox 360 apparently had a "specialized hard drive," which the Yale student, Jesse Maiman, says cost him more than $1,000. He's asking for $1,700 for system reimbursement, and according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, wants the airline to pay "for 'non-economic distress' of at least $25,000, but 'in the maximum amount allowable by law or, in the alternative, in the sum of $1,000,000'."
