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."

    Yea, Microsoft really tries to burn down houses there. You know something...Mike is a name that is short for Microsoft, so Mike's hard lemonade actually quenches the thirst of these hungry blazes that we call XBOX360. With all of the fire damage that Microsoft will undeniably have to pay, we can be sure that they will lose money on this venture and eventually exit the gaming console sector, perhaps to take what was once IBM's niche in the desktop PC sector. As we see this, Microsoft will now be the hardware manufacturer, likely using the PowerPC chips that the enemy, Apple, once used. It is a dauntless cycle that we must all come to know and realize--but as a corporation, does this fact really matter anymore?

    The fact is, if you post something on /., you are now ineligible for protection from ridicule on your improper use of homophones. Instead of "lack their of" the parent comment should say "lack thereof." Take some time to check out the definitions of thereof, their, and of.
