Student Sues Airline for $1 Million for Losing Xbox

Ohio native and Yale University student Jessie Maiman has filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages from US Airways for losing a video game console in his luggage. Maiman, 21, alleges that during a flight from New Haven, Conn. to Cincinnati, Ohio in December, his Xbox 360 disappeared from his luggage.

But it wasn't just any Xbox 360. Maiman's had a specialized harddrive, although we're pretty positive that it still wouldn't bring the value up anywhere near $1 million.

Maiman claimes he got "an unconscionable run-around" from US Airways. He is seeking $1,700 for the loss of the Xbox, and for the maximum damages allowable, which is $1 million.

He filed the lawsuit Monday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. A spokesman for US Airways said that the airline was not aware of the suit, but noted that the US government limits liability for lost luggage to $3,300 per bag.
