Digital Age

A gamer’s gotta do what a gamer’s gotta do. Microsoftare being brought to task by a Chicago man who’s displeased with the number ofglitches present in the newly-launched 360 and haslaunched a lawsuit as a result.

Claiming that Microsoft rushed their console to market in order to beat their competitors, resulting in a defectiveproduct, Robert Byers is suing for “unspecified damages and litigation-related expenses, as well as the replacement orrecall of Xbox 360 game consoles.”

Seems like lawyers are makingalotofmoney out of video games recently; it would be a shame ifthe 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 isless than 3% of the total number of units, they aren’tgoing to live this down.
