Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft getting sued hard, (vid)

The title to this thread makes it sounds like a porn.

Oh yeah, they're suing MS so hard......God that's hot.

Not caring about the hardware issues enough to delay the launch.... but instead just pretend the system is fine so they can get it out their earlier for a headstart and some 3rd party attention....

In my book - NOT GOOD.

  who is gonna be a early adopter with their history now

RROD or not that's not going to stop people from lining outside of stores to get one. Even the Playstation 3 had a ton of early adoptors on the market. The thing sold for over one thousand the first few weeks it was on eBay in the US.

 



It's just that simple.

fuck em, if ever there was a fair case to be brought against a video game manufacturer that EVERYONE agrees with its the RROD issue.

But they took their sweet time getting it sorted eh



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Of course we are talking MS here. They won the Internet Explorer suit, i believe. They lost the EU open programming suit though, that cost em mega bucks and that only happened last year.

MS already spent a ton to extend warrenties, replace systems, ect. I highly doubt this will hold up considering the measures already taken. Sounds like they are reaching in the hopes of lining their pockets.....,it's kinda sad....really.....T_T....!

It's more about the fact that the product was released without quality assurance. If I remember correctly, I believe the number of original xbox 360's that red-ringed was at about 67-70%

 

          It wasnt even that high, the source in this video shows it at 15%.  The insider interview and statistics shown in the site below has it is at 30% at its highest.  As well as several others show it way below the 30%.  Now, I am not downplaying 30% (highball figure), that is still hurendously over the 10% base failure rate percentage.  But 67-70%......I mean...come on, you cant just make up percentages.........;)

Does that 30% include same console bricking twice(or more)? If it doesn't I can see the failure rate being 67%.

 



Wow, refund on every system? Thats kinda scary but you better believe MS will fight tooth and nail and appeal for another 20 years before paying a cent.

I suppose now we find out just how legitimate all these sources actually are

Good.



Great news, if they knew and still released this trash then they deserve to pay for it.
