Microsoft sued over alleged Xbox 360 glitch
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.'s new
Xbox 360 has sued the world's largest software maker, saying the new
video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and
freeze up.
The proposed class action claims that in Microsoft's bid to gain share
in the $25 billion global video game market, the company was so intent
on releasing the Xbox 360 before competing next-generation machines
from Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). and Nintendo Co Ltd. that it sold a
"defectively designed" product.
Robert Byers, who brought the suit, said the power supply and central
processing unit in the Xbox 360 overheat, affecting heat-sensitive
chips and causing the console to lock up.
