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."

    In addition, I don't like the way it was posted... "a Chicago man who was lucky enough to purchase an Xbox 360"... OH PLEASE!!!! "lucky enough" You make out to be some amazing thing... It's JUST a GAME BOX!!! Hello!!!

    Tell that to the Apple fanatics. Those people see nothing wrong with spending half their lives wiating in line for each new plastic gadget that Apple makes every few months. "Sure I waited in line for 2 hours! It was OS X version 1.2.5.5! It's MUCH better than 1.2.5.4, and it ONLY cost me $200!"
