Microsoft sued over Xbox LIVE service

Thats right everyone, Microsoft gets sued. This time for all the problems they have been having with their online subscription service Xbox LIVE. If there are unhappy people, there will be some kind of lawsuit and this seems no different. I know the outages have been a bit annoying to everyone who uses the service, but worth suing for $5 million may be a bit stretch of mental damages.

Leave it to three Texas natives to put the screws to MS and a smile to my face.

Microsoft now faces a lawsuit over recent problems with its Xbox Live online gaming service. Three Texas residents filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of themselves and others who have had trouble connecting to Xbox Live in recent weeks.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims Microsoft’s outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the software maker is liable. The suit doesn’t claim specific damages, but notes the amount is in excess of $5 million.

    If Microsoft offers an XBLA game that either a lot of people have or no one wants, I bet they’ll lose this case

    If stupid people can sue over a fast food joint making him fat, you knew something like this would be on the horizon.
