Man Commences Class Action Suit Against Microsoft over Alleged Xbox 360 Glitch

Text of Complaint

The proposed class action suit claims that Microsoft released a “defectively designed” product that is prone to failure due to overheaing.

Dale’s Comment: While initially denying the extend of this problem in late 2005 and early 2006, in October of 2006 Microsoft offered to replace all defective units without charge.

[March 29, 2006 Update: ars technica reports that On March 29, 2006, the complainant Robert Byers filed for voluntary dismissal of the case.]
