Microsoft Sued Over Alleged Xbox 360 Defects

Posted by Zonk on from the bumpy-ride dept.

richdun writes "Reuters is reporting that a Chicago man who was lucky enough to purchase an Xbox 360 has filed suit against Microsoft over the overheating and crashing some users have experienced. The man is seeking unspecified damages, litigation expenses, and replacement or recall of all Xbox 360s. While more suits or a class-action is probably on the way, others have sought less litigious solutions."

    Anyone can sue anyone else no matter how stupid it is, and there won't be any repurcussions except more money for the lawyers. What we really need is some system in place where the loser pays to further discourage stupid lawsuits.

    I think there's some sci-fi book where the loser and his lawyer dies. That might work too, but I don't think most people would go for that.
