Microsoft, Bungie sued over Halo 3

TGDaily: A court case started in a California district court alleging that popular game Halo 3 doesn't work with the Xbox 360.

The class action, filed by Randy Nunez and others, alleges that Microsoft and Bungie made Halo 3 and stated that it was compatible with the Xbox 360, but that it wasn't.

[kevinx1000]

i'm pretty sure halo 3 has nothing to do with this. it's just the 360's hardware.

[Winter47th]

They'll settle out'a court, but taking action like that sure's commendable. Best'a luck.

[No FanS Land]

Double you, tee, eff?

I don't see any logic in the fact halo crashes Xboxes, otherwise we would have known back 2 years ago.

[gaffyh]

It worked fine for me, I dunno what these guys are talking about.

[Headshot81]

we need more of these so MS could start fixing their sh!t. Cant you see?,It doesn't matter if it isn't the game thats crashing, as long as they see customers trying to take advantage of their hardware reliability, MS will hopefully say " f@ck not another lawsuit, TIME TO FIX THE DAMN THING". Its the consumers against the Money thirsty Companies, YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US!!!!!!!!!

[Tony P]

I guess I got my laugh for the day.

[Poopface the 2nd]

they shoulda sued over the 360s crappy hardware not working properly, not halo 3 not being a 360 game. Halo 3 is a 360 game regardless if you 360 works or not. these guys dont have a chance if they are trying to prove its not made to be a 360 game.

I played halo 3 on my 360 and so have millions of others.

edit- wouldnt it just take microsoft hooking up a 360 and playing halo 3 on it to prove this is wrong? Even if the console got rrod, this is about halo 3 not being a 360 game(when it clearly is. there are probably about 100,000 people online right now), not 360 being crap hardware.

[Elven6]

"Best'a luck"...are you kidding me? You do realize if they win or settle out of court it will give other people reasons to sue if their game crashes on them? Should PC gamers begin to sue developers when their games crash or barely run as advertised even if they meet the specifications?

This could be anyone, be it Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, etc, it would be a huge blow to gaming and simply open the flood gates. Millions of copies and systems beg to differ with these claims.

[Bnet343]

Americans doing all they can these days to stay alive with our economy. What a dumb lawsuit.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I have no issue with customer complaint or lawsuits, but the country is going down the drain because the lawyers tax is affecting us all. Did you know there are more lawyers in California then the rest of the US?

Only way to stop this is, looser pays the fees. You ain't fishing if attempting to catch a fish might cost you.

[SnuggleBandit]

"Americans doing all they can these days to stay alive with our economy. What a dumb lawsuit."

Can people please stop placing blanket statement on Americans! Yes there are stupid people here, as there are in your country as well. "bah stupid Americans" Its really getting annoying and you sound ignorant!

[edgeofblade]

Being a lawyer requires a flexible sense of the truth. The lawyer that took this case is a man I do not respect.

[NoBias]

One person said something about American's who happens to also be American from my understanding. Put on some thicker skin. We're packed full of stupid people here in the states - Truth.

[TheDude2dot0]

Dumbest lawsuit ever

[HolyOrangeCows]

My copy of Halo 3 is compatible with my 360 :S

[SnuggleBandit]

Dude i'm not whining...but this crap has gone far enough. Why would i want to be labeled as a dumb american when i'm not?? While it may be true that we have stupid people, i am not one of them, so why would it be fair to put that kind of generalization on those who aren't idiots?....same thing goes when other people say americans are fat and lazy...do you really want to be prejudged and "labeled" like that?

And same thing goes for all countries and nationalities

[REALgamer]

I could swear I'd played through Halo 3, but now I guess it was aaaaaaall a dreeeeeeeam.

And by the way, did the guy trying looking at the surface of the disc to see if it was covered in scratches? That tends to be the thing to make games randomly lock up or crash...Though I'm not preparing any class action lawsuit against Microsoft because my copy of Crackdown was accidentally put face-down on a table that had sand on it and moved around a bit with other games stacked on it, resulting in some mildly awesome-looking swirly scratches all over it (aren't friends awesome?!).

I should get the surface fixed though - it's been sitting on my shelf for about a year now unplayable (gets to the menu screen with the city in the background and then freezes once the city rotates to a certain angle).

[NewZealander]

halo 3 has never crashed on me.....

[Game13a13y]

they are sueing MS because they are selling Halo3 to the customers with the systems that won't let them play the game when they bring the game home. they are not sueing Halo 3 the game itself. they are sueing the company for the act of selling the game and how they have breached the commitment. its just like you go to a supermarket and buy something you want to eat, when you go home, you find out that you cannot eat it because its all rotten inside the box, get it?

[ryuyasho]

sure will be Bungie's DEMISE!!! Microsoft will file suits to whoever worked with them for whatever "HARDWARE" failure the console have, whenever the fock they want. keep'em in court long enough till the Defendants Economic Supply DRAIN... it has happened in the past. that's what Micro$hit do... EXPLOIT COMPANIES AND RAPE THEIR LOYAL CONSUMERS!!!!

WH=WHO,WHAT,WHEN...

Next Target: Epic Games

[NoBias]

Haha, geez u take things a little too seriously. You must be young. Why would I get mad if someone called me a fat American, knowing full well that I'm in shape? Why would I care if someone called me dumb even though I have a college degree? Those have to be thee most childish insults ever.

I'm black, I've dealt with my fair share of racism and prejudice growing up in predominantly white neighborhoods. So yeah, if someone dropped the N-Bomb on me, I'd sure as hell take offense. But if someone calls me dumb or fat and expect me to be legitimately angry about it?? lol yea right... That's elementary school stuff.

I still don't know what you're hellbent on though. Kigmal never even said anything about dumb Americans. He said

"Americans doing all they can these days to stay alive with our economy. What a dumb lawsuit. "

Maybe it's a slight case of dyslexia that's troubling you but I didn't see him call American's (as a whole) dumb, stupid or fat (And obviously not too many others took the way you did, judging by the number of his agrees vs his disagrees).

Now I said we definitely have some dumb people here in the states (more so joking around) but either way, if you disagree with that statement, you'd be dumb as well because to think the US is ONLY full of incredibly smart high level IQ folks, is just downright ignorant. To think that about any country is downright ignorant...

But back to me original point: Stop whinning and brush it off (even though there was never really anything harmful said to brush off... Which is why I'm still confused...)

And yes, this IS a dumb lawsuit. Surely we're in agreeance on that?!

[BWS1982]

I think he may be on the defensive simply because there is a LOT of anti-American sentiment on the net from other countries that seem to make vastly swift generalizations and blanket statements when they even hear the word American. Yes, Kigmal didn't directly state anything "anti-American" but this site has been flushed with those sentiments in the past, and perhaps he's a bit edgy about it, I know I am. I get disgusted reading about how I'm inherently inferior because of the location I was born in, what the hell did I do? Dumb? Fat? I'm smart and am into bodybuilding, and I try to be a sincere and just person, so how is my country of origin suddenly dictating anything to the contrary? I don't know, and that's why some of us get on edge about possible mud-slinging.

I get tired of seeing myself lumped in because some idiot in another state did or said something ignorant. No, it's not relevant to me nor is it affecting me directly, but just like you have your own offensive reactions to slurs, many of us here don't like the level of outrageous stereotyping present on the internet or in real life, anti-American statements are a slur to me. It's a sad fact that there's many ignorant people in any country, but it doesn't matter which one you're speaking of, generalizing ONLY off of nationality is just flat-out stupid and pointless, not to mention blatantly inaccurate. Maybe you don't see so much of this hatred (or maybe you don't care), but some of us have and some of us would like the record set straight.

[vhero]

What you expect from a company like MS? They spend too much time trying to copy others rather than fixing their own hardware denying theres a fault. It's the only way they can keep up with Sony and Nintendo if they admitted fault with as many Xbox's that have really died it would be the end of the 360 so instead they take it on the chin and hope the problem will go away.

[NoBias]

I agree with you as well. It is stupid but if anything it just makes the fools lumping us into a "stupid" category look stupid ha. If they think all of America are idiots then it just proves they're the uneducated and ignorant ones.

"Maybe you don't see so much of this hatred (or maybe you don't care), but some of us have and some of us would like the record set straight."

Haha, get in line ;) We still have to eliminate racism, religionism and sexism waaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before we can think about setting the record straight about us being stupid as a collective whole (Ya gotta see the irony in that!).

The level of importance between those is night and day. Those who have dealt with racism, religionism and/or sexism will be the first to tell you that.

Too many other immediate important issues ahead of that :\

[NoBias]

Just proves the ignorance and stupidity of some people here. I don't even know why I'm trying to have an educational conversation on this site. Especially about certain things that a lot of you will never even experience (and you're very luck not to). I'll stick only to gaming talk here as a lot of you aren't mature enough to handle a conversation like this. The open zone proves that...

Things will never change. And if they do, sadly it won't be anytime soon...

*face palm*

[BWS1982]

I actually didn't intend to prioritize any of those persecutions, they're all wrong. What I meant by what you quoted was that maybe you don't see all the anti-American hatred, I wasn't referring to you not seeing racism or sexism. I've experienced a whole lot of reverse discrimination regarding gender at my old place of employment. It was NOT a two way street for males there, and it sickened me, as the females got special treatment from management, as it was a laborious job. It all needs to be fixed, and it's all wrong, I didn't mean to infer one form was worse than another, none of it's right and needs to stop.

[RodStewart]

Do it game by game. The fact is they shouldn't make games for it if it can't run right. Every publisher and developer the first 3 years of the life of this console is going to have a price to pay for faulty products.

[aldesko]

Halo 3 works fine for me. Is he sure he has a 360? =P

[Midgard228]

the fact that it doesnt work proves he has a 360 :)

lol just kiddin, my halo 360 plays halo just fine even if i havent turned on the 360 for a year lol

[gamfreak]

Weird things always happen around M$?

*sigh*

[MaximusPrime]

Well Not just ms but all companies.

Its just that ms had worse past two months.
Defeated by ps3 slim, forced to stop selling ms word, defeated by sony walkman, severe lack of decent games, more RRoD reports, twitter and facebook integration (fee), refused to cancel some guy's roommate's xbox live subscription and now this.

[Kill Crow]

nothing to see here move along ...

[markbob]

The filing says:

"Defendants knew or had reason to know that Halo 3 was being purchased by consumers for use on an Xbox 360 and that the buyers of Halo 3 were relying on Defendants' skill and judgment to furnish goods suitable for that purpose.

However, Halo 3 does not function with the Xbox 360, and to the contrary, attempted use of Halo 3 consistently causes the Xbox 360 to 'crash,' 'freeze' or 'lock up' while the game is being played."

I've never have my 360 crash, freeze or lock up playing Halo 3. Has anyone ever have those things happen playing Halo 3

[a_squirrel]

It's happened to me a few (like twice) times... but that out of aaaallllll the time I've played it, ever

[F N A Pepper]

all they will do is bring another xbox 360 into the court room show it works and the people will get laughed out of the court room, now i'm not saying there's works i'm just sayin MS will just tell the judge they can have this one, case solved.

[mrblacknut]

What a joke. (goes back to playing some more Halo 3 in preperation for ODST on my Dec 05 launch system)

[Insomnia_84]

...liar.

[josh14399]

well the third time my 360 broke i had been playing halo3 but i blame it on my old 360 not halo 3. my new 360 plays the game fine which i have had for about 18months now and the console only freezes now and again but hasnt had any problems with halo3

[c64days]

this is frastrating.

[militant07]

my 2nd 360 crashed after playing halo 3 1080p 4 player splitscreen.

i blame it on the hardware though, lasted 1.5 year (zeypher)

[bjornbear]

Buy a new one...i mean, thats the point right?

[djfullshred]

From Microsoft's perspective, they know the point is to just sell another 360. They know from consumer studies that people will just buy another box if the old one dies...reapetedly.

[Szarky]

@6.1

5th? You're kidding right? I mean you weren't that stupid to put up with such bad hardware to keep going were you? If your oven or fridge broke 5 times would you keep getting the same one? If your ipod broke for the 5th time? If your watch broke for the 5th time?

[a_squirrel]

only if his brain broke for the fifth time

[Game13a13y]

why buy another faulty hardware when you can get the PS3 Slim now for the same price? i know alot of people have given up on 360's faulty hardware already. -_-

[Daishi]

Why get another 360 after the fifth one died, answer, games... The same reason people bought 4 or 5 PS2s.

[vhero]

This is why MS has sold more Xbox than Sony sold PS3's... You all bought at least 3 consoles me included! To replace dead ones ofc you wonder why the RROD hasn't been fixed? It's the only thing keeping sales up unfortunately.

[mrv321]

It's far more likely for a 360 to RRoD or fail before Halo 3 fails. Afterall Halo 3 is softwere which I highly doubt pushes the 360 to the limit compared to titles such as Gears of War to etc.

It'd be pretty funny if Microsoft had to recall EVERY copy of Halo 3, all 10 million of 'em. The cost and embarasment would be pretty high, but I HIGHLY doubt that'll ever happen. Afterall Microsoft got away with RRoD, E74, Update failures and Video failures.

[xsteinbachx]

Re Roll your life.

[bjornbear]

Quality control =/

[D4RkNIKON]

Who do you blame, Halo or the 360? Bad software or bad hardware? Seems to me this is not Bungie's fault...

[caRnAGEconcept]

i was thinking of suing pepsi. Opened me up a can just the other day; only to find coke... Which was diet. ...and flat.

With that outta the way, like the guy up top said, i guess i will have to agree that it is rather commendable to actually go through with such an asinine concept and expect people to take a bite out of such a bullsh*t sandwich.

I once bought me one them Swiffer sweepers for my kitchen floor, but nowhere was it mentioned ANYWHERE that i needed me some swiffers to go with my shiny new swiffer sweeper.
-- See what I did just there?

[bjornbear]

Just start buying CokaCola ;)

[Isaahc]

it's the economy, people sue people its not something new since the economy dropped, people are desperat for money.

[caRnAGEconcept]

Well, i mean, .. Duh. haha.

Of course it is bud, it has been and always will be.

But this is just LAZY.. But potentially brilliant. Just like that lady in 94' who sued McDonald's after she burned herself with some coffee becuase nobody told her it was hot!? If i remember correctly, 6 million & some change was awarded to her..

What a world... full of ass-hats.

[dragonelite]

Holyshit i heard something about it in holland wtf isnt it a common thing that new ordered coffee is hot.

Inb4 someone sues a swimmingpool owner because he didn't warned him he could get wet from the water.

[jadenkorri]

she did win the 6 million in court, but it was taken to the supreme court and got overturned... thou my fav was the RV guy who put his brand new RV in cruise control and went out back and did whatever, i think it was to make some coffee, and of course got in an accident, sued and won as he was not informed he had to drive the vehicle while in cruise control, but that was also taken to the supreme court to be overturned... People should never be rewarded for stupidity.

[Close_Second]

...I'm all for it. Why? Because Microsoft should never be allowed to forget that shoddy hardware is unacceptable.

[v1c1ous]

for making uncharted 1 not play after firmware 3.0?

ba-dum-pish!

[ceedubya9]

If it means that much to you...

I'm sure Microsoft learned their lesson the first time around. I doubt we'll see the same thing happen with their third console.

Thankfully, I haven't had any issues out of my 360 in a long time. Funny thing is, it seems like people that don't have 360s talk about the hardware problems more than those that do have one.

[i3eyond the Circle]

Halo 3 is actually one of the games that never froze on me.

[Droid Control]

But for some reason it runs on my new PS3 slim...

[Joni-Ice]

I actually went to rent a different copy. It worked fine for two days then stopped again. Not sure whats going on.

[a_squirrel]

BREAKING NEWS: Someone's 360 is broken.... again

[juanvan]

So it was the software's fault that the xbox had the Common Hardware Problem.. Hummm Someone should check all the defendants IQ's make sure they are eligible to drive with out a seeing eye dog.

[djfullshred]

The defendents are not the ones suing, they are the ones defending themselves on the lawsuit. In this case, Microsoft is one of the defendents, so those suing are not short on IQ, if it turns out to be a hardware problem. Is not Microsoft the responcible party for a XBOX360 hardware issue?

It is interesting to me that so many take the side of the fat corporations that don't realy give a rats ass about you, and pile on to insult consumers trying to get the corporations to own up to any faulty products they may have sold. It seems that video game addicts are some of the most unwise consumers out of any particular hobby. I think it is because they are so caught up in their console war arguments that they can not ever go back and have an objective consumer criticsm of said product, otherwise be seen as a hypocryte.

I am not trying to bash Microsoft. I have had a PS3 die after 18 months, and if this happens again, I will be up in Sony's grill about it, and let everyone know on the forums about poor quality or bad customer services. We need to be together on our side, not the corporations who are making billions from us.

[juanvan]

Woops It was to be plaintiffs.

[wxer]

lol
so this is why halo sold those 10 mills

stupid kids went out and got another new one after the first one didn't work
lol

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...N64!!! ;-D

[SolidSystem]

MS and Apple sued over operating systems. both companies OS systems sometimes freeze, obviously not designed to run on computer hardware.

god f*ck america, losers who sue over anything, and get money for it. hell I might just sue MS so it gets settled out of cort and I get a nice fat check.

[djfullshred]

When people open class action lawsuits because of a faulty product, it is not out of greed, but frustration from feeling cheated. No one makes out on a class action suit, except for the lawyers. The people that bring up these lawsuits are generally doing what they think is right for consumers, not trying to make a buck.

[Another One]

and I agree completely. It pisses me off to no end when I hear about things like this.

[AssassinHD]

Can you really generalize an entire group of people for a practice, and then entertain the idea of doing said practice yourself in the same sentence?

*consults the Internet Forum and Comment Section Regulations 2009 Edition*

Hmm, that does not appear to be allowed. Rule section 16-47-C clearly states that typing such a sentence only makes you look like a hypocrite, and therefore removes any credibility that you may have had prior to the inclusion of said sentence.

[azurechaos]

From what I've read, about 1 in 4 halo 3 discs got read errors, I actually just bought it after getting my 360, and the disc gets read errors right after I start the campaign, but for some reason it works fine when I unplug the hard drive. Apparently many others have had this issue and it sounds like that's why this lawsuit is happening, because of how halo 3 interfaces with the hard drive

[SolidSystem]

1 in 4 halo3 disks dont work? that would be big big news if that was true. do you have any reliable sources for such an outragious claim? sounds like flamebait or trolling to me.

[The BS Police]

Nice jop pulling that false statistic out of your ass.

[Hellsvacancy]

I hav 2 agree wid Solid - this is the 1st time that ive EVER heard that Halo 3 hasnt been workin on sum 360s - i didnt think the post would even get past the approvals section - kudos 2 me :-)

[bujasem_89]

this is what sony has to say to MS XD

http://www.badjoystick.com/...

[NaiNaiNai]

I Love the video...........from a editors view. XD

who ever made it did a damn good job editing.

[bujasem_89]

yeah tell me about it, its really awesome makes me wanna buy another PS3 XD

[davidadrake]

Worked fine for me

[Xander756]

I wish there was a way for me to join in this lawsuit against Bungie.

[Karlnag3]

but never on halo 3, and that was the first game I got for it because it came bundled along with an HDMI cable... plus the game is a few years old now so wtf caused them to suddenly complain about it? :\

oh and PS3 FTW.

[Tony P]

It's an ongoing case, actually. Since 2007.

[StankyChicken]

I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous. Halo 3 works perfectly on my xbox, and has yet to freeze, crash, or glitch up on me. I can guarantee that this persons hardware is the problem, and if not, he probably scratched the disk up enough to not make it work.

[Cintai]

I'm gonna sue Sony for using the word Slim.. it's derogatory to fat people.

Actually I'm gonna sue them all since they all require 2 hands to play and what about those people who only have 1 hand.

I'm gonna sue Nintendo for trying to get people up off the couch, but what about people who are in wheelchairs. (that goes to project natal as well)

The saddest thing is I bet a lawyer would take up these cases.

Not sure why bungie is involved, since they stated Halo 3 isn't compatible but as of March this year over 1 billion games were played. Stupid people.

[Another One]

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those have been brought up already. I mean, people can sue over anything here in America.

"I spilled hot coffee on myself! I blame McDonalds for not telling me it's hot!"

"I got cancer from these cigarettes that no one forced me to smoke! I'm going to sue tobacco companies because I make a sh1tty life decision!"

Baseless, moronic claims can get you a great deal of money. "Halo isn't compatible" Then I wonder how so many people are playing it online?

[firetaw]

simple as that . and stay away from the num chuck

[Cintai]

I once dreamt over 10 years ago that I was attacked by Ninjas who had num chucks and now I'm scared of them.

I'm going to sue Nintendo for naming their controller a num chuck since they terrify me.

I'm gonna sue some hotel for having a bible in the night stand, then after I win and they remove them all I'm gonna sue them again for not having one.

I'm going to sue the internet just because it's Thursday.

[aueslander]

....that says a lot. With that last name you know he is of south of the boarder persuasion, probably here illegally, and probably too stupid to realize you have to put the game label up, not down.

I swear, once they find out he is illegal, this thing is over.

To randy NUNEZ, instead of trying to sue MS to get rich, why not get off your azz and get at LEAST a day labor job.

[Henry Cain]

This is M$ fault for putting out bad hardware

[SSCOOLCHEA]

keep telling you that bots are dumb ...

so this fkn fool is going to waste all his money on court fees and attorneys ..and all he's going to get is $59.99..a fkn refund...Bots are retarded and dumb.....

[DocHoliday]

@ the delete monkey in here. Deleted my comment just because i said the truth.

[jack who]

is this a joke?

[kaz-hirai]

What does work with the 360 ?

;-P!

[Hellsvacancy]

Im not sure if its coz im stoned but THAT comment right there was f-ing HILARIOUS - bubblez 2 u

[dkgshiz]

yep

[gameraxis]

who the company in question is. Whether it be Sony, Nintendo, Or Microsoft, i would personally leave the software out of it, or sue the software dev/ pub ALONE.

The problem here is that it doesn't specify really what the consumer has the problem with... but i totally think this SHOULD be done to any company with such high failure rates, and no fanboy attached here. I truly believe that even if this was sony or nintendo we're talking about, there needs to be a stop to it... and for it to go on so long, and for people to be on the 4th 5th or 6th xbox360 in just under 4 years is INSANE, and i hope this goes to the supreme court and microsoft needs to either stop selling a faulty product or fix it with acceptable failure rates. hell, 29 mil console recall wouldn't be too severe in my opinion...

[Lumbo]

If any court of justice accepts this insane suit the American court system has managed the crossover into the totally bizarre ..

[firetaw]

funny how only on the xbox 360 you will see news like this...

[cmrbe]

It worked but the guys thought it was halo 2 when they saw the graphics. Silly kids.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

LMAO that was funny cm...err rbe ^^

[Hiruu]

This is going to be tossed out on it's ass for being nonsense. The game sold over 10 million copies...they are going to have a REALLY difficult time proving their case.

[Gamer1111]

i got a brand new smash brothers for the wii on release date it didnt work

blu disc ps2 games brand new work work on some ps2. had a problem with god of war on my ps2

....but to go to court over it......lonely lonely people....they should look deep inside themselves. i love america i live in america...but these are the people that destroy america

[TheDeadMetalhead]

They're doing it wrong.

[NewZealander]

what ive never had a problem with halo 3, but I bought a ps3 slim last week and I cant play uncharted cos it freezes. when r sony going to fix this problem ??? I might sue them

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Last week I bought Metroid Prime Trilogy on launch day and I got a defective disc. I returned it to Gamestop and now it works, but I'm still going to sue Nintendo for $9001. :@@@@@@@@

[Tone]

We would get laughed out of court if we tried this in the UK...

[Daishi]

California...

[Hayabusa 117]

I'm all for sueing Microsoft for broken hardware, but really? Trying to say Halo 3 isn't "compatible" with XBos 360? I personally hope they DON'T win otherwise it'll be a victory for stupidity.

[napoleon_ist]

an exclusive game not working on its system er? not bad. :)

[RoyFlav]

Would this be the same case with the same Randy Nunez from 2007? http://news.spong.com/artic...

[Dogswithguns]

Microsoft and Bungie suing each other? that's weird....

[ico92]

its probaly due to the 360 its self rather than the game

[Ninjamonkey]

Im not against MS but at the end of the day you cannot defend MS on this.

Becuase what it means is your defending a breach in our consumer rights. And if you continue letting these breaches go by companies will only push harder and harder to get away with worse things.

Remember it costs money for people to sue others, yes these days you get money back guarantees but its a llengthy and exhausting process and its great that there are consumers out there who wont be pushed around and know their rights.

beucase without them we as consumers would be much worse off.

And at the end of the day I think we can all agree that none of us want that to happen.

[Jones Miller]

find Americans downright retarded...nuff said!

[artsaber]

"Microsoft, the filing continues, has had "repeated and mounting consumer complaints and inquiries concerning this operational flaw in Halo 3" but has failed to recall the game or fix the failure."

Looks like Microsoft coulda just tried replacing this guy's 360 and maybe send him a fresh copy of Halo3 - and this lawsuit would've never existed. Kudos to Microsoft for picking this as a wrong battle.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Given the number of RROD's and the number of Halo 3 players, I bet the figures would indicate Halo 3 causes 360's to fail. But no, there are just that many Halo 3 players! LOL!

[wowzers]

This article is stupid as hell! If H3 wasn't made for the damn 360, how is there so many people playing it? I can play that game 8 hours straight on my neighbors 360 and not have a damn problem with it. I don't know why N4G keeps approving these pointless articles...

Oh, and its not the games fault, its all that power within the box that just has no breathing room what so ever. Power + Heat = Let It Cool Down Once In A While! You wont have any problems with it then...

[CzarPickles]

I hate california....
