Xbox Owner Sues Microsoft.
In a fabulous example of American societies inclination to sue everybody for anything, a Xbox owner has taken Microsoft to court because he says that Xboxes “stop working after minimal usage, after unreasonably, unconscionably, unusually and unexpectedly short amounts of time”. In other words he got unlucky and his hard drive screwed up. Now, were this Gadget Lounge’s Xbox, we’d fork out $AU100 and by a new 120GB drive and install it. Rather than the thousands in legal fees. Then again, I guess he’s not after playing virtual games anymore, he’s after real game. You think he could have come up with something better, like the Xbox is in fact a vehicle for Microsoft to deliver the devils work to every home in the U.S.
