Microsoft has been sued for so many things; it has been sued over Xbox Live, also for Xbox 360 units that had scratch discs and also for fires! Now Digital Journal reports that a class action lawsuit has been filed in California, which claims that Halo 3 causes the Xbox 360 to crash.
Randy Nunez, who is the complainant, has alleged that his version of Halo 3 makes the Xbox 360 ‘crash, freeze or lock up’. The suit has made a lot of claims one of which is that Halo 3 is not compatible with Microsoft’s next generation console. The lawsuit has been filed under California’s consumer protection legislation. It also charges Microsoft with a breach of ‘statutory implied warranty of merchantability’ and ‘statutory implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.’
Here is a small excerpt from the lawsuit filed by Nunez:
“Although faced with repeated and mounting consumer complaints and inquiries concerning this operational flaw in the Halo 3, Defendants have failed to recall Halo 3 or otherwise remedy its failure to function on the Xbox 360.”
It is also interesting to note that along with Microsoft, Bungie Studios has also been named as the defendants. The suit even goes on to call Bungie and Microsoft deceitful. It seems that the legal department of Microsoft is going to have a lot of workload.
