Microsoft sued over alleged Xbox 360 glitch - Yahoo! News

Some pretty intense stuff man, I still want one, but I have a feeling the PS3 is going to dominate.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.’s new
Xbox 360 has sued the world’s largest software maker, saying the new video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and freeze up.

The proposed class action claims that in Microsoft’s bid to gain share in the $25 billion global video game market, the company was so intent on releasing the Xbox 360 before competing next-generation machines from Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). and Nintendo Co Ltd. that it sold a “defectively designed” product.

Robert Byers, who brought the suit, said the power supply and central processing unit in the Xbox 360 overheat, affecting heat-sensitive chips and causing the console to lock up.

Microsoft spokeswoman Molly O’Donnell on Monday said the company does not comment on pending litigation.

Just saw on Yahoo Ent. this morning that they have an exclusive trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 2 : Dead Man’s Chest Ahh Kiera, can’t wait In any case, Johnny Depp needs to redeem himself after Charlie, dude. Somehting about that movie, I fell asleep like 6 times and was really trying to pay attention. Talk about a let-down from a great childhood memory.

I remember when she was on the Daily Show with John Stewart and talking about the movie, funny how they don’t film this in the Caribbean at all. Go fig.
