Californians Sue Over Xbox 360 Flaw

November 2nd 2008 18:59
It was bound to happen at some point in time. A lawsuit has been filled over an XBOX 360 flaw. Silly, if you ask me, but hey, some people find their gaming more of a passion that I do. California inhabitants filled the lawsuit becuase of the Xbox 360 Ring of Death, or RROD.

Basically, the lawsuit alleges that there too many Xbox 360 consoles have experienced hardware failures, and that Microsoft knowingly manufactured the faulty game consoles.

As evidence, the lawsuit uses articles from various gaming publications and sources to include dailygamenews.com, VentureBeat, Digital Media, and Yahoo! All of the publications, as with others, state that Microsoft knew about the faulty hardware as far back as November 2005. The publications state that Microsoft knew that about 50% of the Xbox 360 consles were defective.


The lawsuit seeks a court order to force Microsoft to pay off the disenfranchised Xbox 360 owners with all the profits that they made from selling the console. A RROD refund, so to speak.
