A gamer's gotta do what a gamer's gotta do. Microsoft
are being brought to task by a Chicago man who's displeased with the number of
glitches present in the newly-launched 360 and has
launched a lawsuit as a result.
Claiming that Microsoft rushed their console to market in order to beat their competitors, resulting in a defective
product, Robert Byers is suing for "unspecified damages and litigation-related expenses, as well as the replacement or
recall of Xbox 360 game consoles."
Seems like lawyers are making
a
lot
of
money out of video games recently; it would be a shame if
the threat of lawsuits proved to be the primary motivation for other console makers to release a working product.
Regardless of the actual number of defective 360s, which Microsoft claim is
less than 3% of the total number of units, they aren't
going to live this down.
