^ Same here. Although economic times are hard, so they might as well try to make some money.

This lawsuit is just stupid. It will never get anywhere.... Just a waste of people's time and efforts. There are warranties for all affected 360's till 2009/2010.

If these people want refunds then does that mean they'll be sending their 360's back to Microsoft? Also I don't even see where this is only for people with 360's with hardware failures. It just looks like they're encouraging anyone to grab a refund.
