While it still has its share of Xbox 360-related lawsuits on its hands, it looks like Microsoft can now at least rest easy about one of them, as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting that the company has resolved the suit it faced over its 360-trashing Fall Update. The lawsuit had been brought by Xbox 360 user Kevin Ray, who alleged that the 2006 Fall Update had bricked his console and that Microsoft had refused to repair it. According to a motion in the case, however, Microsoft says its records showed that Ray called the company for repairs again once it extended the warranty, after which Microsoft says it shipped out a replacement console at no cost to Mr. Ray, who apparently has had no further complaints. While the terms of the settlement are confidential, the two sides have apparently agreed to settle it as an individual action and not a class action as had been proposed, leaving anyone else looking for a piece of the action out of luck.
Men in black suits showed up to "give him his due"
correction: Black men with afros in black suits.
But there's no evidence that the plaintiff owned a pool to close.
Ebaums did it
Man I should of sued when in month 3 of Xbox 360 release, MY 360 was scratching up all my discs. I called MS and they refused to fix it. They said i was moving the consoel while a disc was inside and i was to blame. terrible.
I ended up unloading it to some guy on ebay.
bbahahah thats horrible
it was you !! bloody bastard!!
They didn't agree to fix it due to the issue, they agreed to fix it due to the extended warranty.. so the lawsuit could still hold validity depending how they went about it.
