Suit Filed Over 'Halo 3 Incompatibility'

Posted by Zonk on from the not-the-best-legal-move dept.

Via Kotaku, a story on the CourtHouseNews site is discussing a suit filed by a CA man against Microsoft over Halo 3. "Microsoft's highly touted "Halo 3" video game, made exclusively for its Xbox 360, causes the Xbox to freeze or crash, ruining the game, according to a federal class-action complaint ... Lead plaintiff Randy Nunez says he paid $59.99 for his game. He wants class certification and damages." Given the lack of widespread note of such crashes, it's going to be hard to prove this in court I think.

    "It's not our shitty Halo 3 game that is to blame but rather our utterly garbage 360 hardware"

    Case dismissed...

    This just in. Stupid arrogant litigation-happy people play games too.

    I can't understand this news. I guess the stereotype of nerds being highly intelligent simply is not true any more.

    "[...] causes the Xbox to freeze or crash, ruining the game"

    Yeah, it totally crashed my Xbox - made it utterly unplayable...

    I then tried it in my Xbox 360 and it worked a treat
