Welcome to the PECOVER v. ELECTRONIC ARTS Inc. Settlement Website
If you are in the United States and bought a new copy of an Electronic Arts’ Madden
NFL, NCAA Football, or Arena Football videogame for Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation
2, PlayStation 3, GameCube, PC, or Wii, with a release date of January 1, 2005 to
June 21, 2012, your rights may be affected.
The purpose of this website is to provide information to potential Settlement Class
Members about the proposed Settlement with Electronic Arts Inc., and to inform Settlement
Class Members of 1) the certification of the Settlement Class, 2) the terms of the
proposed Settlement, 3) their right to exclude themselves (“Opt-Out”) from the Settlement
Class, 4) their right to object to the Settlement, and 5) the hearing at which time
the Court will determine whether to grant final approval of the proposed Settlement.
If approved by the Court, payments will be made to Settlement Class members who
submit timely and valid claims out of the net proceeds of the Settlement (the amount
available after deducting payment of the costs of administering the Settlement,
including the costs of this notice, attorneys’ fees, costs of the litigation, and
any payments allowed by the Court to the named plaintiffs) based on the type and
number of videogames purchased by a Settlement Class Member.
If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member, your share of the net proceeds of
the Settlement will be based upon the number of videogame titles you purchased new,
as well as the number of Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims.
Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL, NCAA Football, or Arena
Football videogames for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, PC, or GameCube platforms
(“Sixth Generation Purchasers”) will be valued at $20.37 per new game purchased,
up to a total of eight units ($162.96).
Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL, NCAA Football, or Arena
Football videogames for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii platforms (“Seventh
Generation Purchasers”) will be valued at $5.85 per new game purchased, up to a
total of eight units ($46.80).
Although the information in this website is intended to assist you, it does not replace
the information contained in the Class Notice or the Settlement Agreement, both
of which can be downloaded from this website.
