Microsoft sued for 360 update issues

GameSpot obtained a copy of the original complaint, which was filed in a Washington district court. The suit accuses Microsoft of breach of contract, negligence, and violation of the state of Washington’s Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Stating that the affected consumers number in “at least the thousands,” the suit contends that Microsoft is refusing to repair or replace the broken systems unless the users pay “up to $140” to ship it back to the company.

The Plantiff is asking for $5 Million, which seems a little odd for a $140 fix. But what’s interesting about this is that it seems the -only- consoles affected are modded. Some say MS did this on purpose to thwart piracy, but I doubt it. The mod likely changed something that the update was not familiar with. Modders brought this on themselves.
