We've got an update on that news that broke out last week about the Kansas dude who's suing the companies behind Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii)v for allegedly having knowledge and profiting off of their defective drum pedals.

MTV Games spoke out about this issue and told EDGE that they do stand behind their products. Says a company rep,

Harmonix and MTV Games are dedicated to consumers having an outstanding experience with our products. When used as directed, our drum pedals are designed to provided years of enjoyment.

In addition, at the launch of Rock Band we offered consumers an extended opportunity return defective or broken hardware for any reason whatsoever--no questions asked. This litigation is opportunistic and baseless.

Plaintiff Monte Morgan is praying for damages, an order enjoining the defendants from alleged "wrongful conduct" as well as legal fees.
