Substitute any other nationality for "American" in your comment, and you'd be decried as a bigot. But since it's America, I guess it's okay.

And half the time, these comments are made by somebody from a nation whose collective butt we saved during WWII.]]>Jan 14th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Such Canadian assbaggery... hmmmmm....

Such Tanzanian assbaggery... ohhh nice
Such French assbaggery... well there ya go

FYI, I'm American. And since this article is about AMERICAN'S suing, then there's the connection, Slick. If a bunch of disgruntled British kids were suing, then it'd be their assbaggery.

Sure it's not cool, and I was a little pissed too, but why the hell must we (as Americans) litigate first and ask questions later?

Vote with your pocketbook. Don't take them to court and ruin in for everyone.

You'd think this was common sense...]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/
I'm pretty sure if I can't log onto Live or recover my gamertag for 2-4 weeks, I can pretty safely assume MS can't keep the service up, without them telling me.]]>Jan 14th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/

Can't MS keep the rest of us informed?

I personally thing the lawsuit itself is without grounds (nowhere is there a GUARANTEE of service), but it's up to the courts to make that decision.

It's irritating, yes...would I start a lawsuit all about it or send a letter to the better business bureau...no. I would like to see MS offer a formal apology, however, and offer to refund a month of service + a free XBLA game...while they don't have to do this by any means, there are loyal paying Live fans out there that deserve a break.]]>Jan 15th 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/
It's that freakin simple people...]]>Jan 14th 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/
That's not economics at all. Simple economics will tell you if you pay for a service and you end up not receiving it then you get your money back. That doesn't give you a right to sue.

The only reason you should be able to sue is if you have damages. I think any non-money-grubbing human being will tell you that emotional stress does not constitute fiscal damages. The fact that M$ was even willing to give us all something for the annoyance is just amazing. I'm guessing no one will get anything, however, because something like that helps admit fault so now they'll probably keep their free stuff to themselves.

I'd totally be in on a class action suit if someone wanted to start in on these three guys. Just for the principle. I say sue them for one dollar for every person they pissed off. Doesn't sound like much, and wouldn't really do any of us much good, but it'd help stop things like this happening in the future. Idiots just suing because they think they can make bank off someone else that has money. I don't think that would happen, but it sure would make them think twice about suing pointlessly again and pissing a bunch of people off.]]>Jan 15th 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/
As for this stupid lawsuit, I think those 3 are idiots. All they are doing is making things worse in the long run for the gamers. Fellow gamers...don't you just love having to stick up for yourselves over stupid comments like the ones above? Why are non gamers even commenting back if you guys think we are stupid for being mad over something like this?? Go back to your own lives and leave us alone. ]]>Jan 15th 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/lawsuit-forces-microsoft-to-stay-mum-about-xbox-live-status/Jan 14th 2008 10:10PM
