1. Comment - Microsoft Sued for Xbox 360 Problems

   (Dec 18, 2005 - 2:30 PM)

   If you guys think that Microsoft, with all of their testing, didn't find know about this problem before they released their console prematurely then you need a lesson on economics. MS obviously wants to gain market share from Sony so they released a product that they knew was faulty because if they chose to fix it first, they would have had to wait until after Christmas and that would have meant fewer units sold. I read a comment in here that the guy who's suing is probably from Sony, I wouldn't doubt it. Sue MS to give their system bad publicity. This war over the video game console market involves a lot of money and we all know the extent that MS is willing to go to gain market share so why are we all content to just go along with the program. I didn't get a chance to buy an Xbox360 but if I spent 400 or more for it and a few days later it froze, I'd be pissed especially if they knew about it and it's naive to think that they didn't.

   In order to decide who's right in this case, MS or this guy, you have to think about what this lawsuit will accomplish. We are at the mercy of giant corporations everywhere. They control the TV networks, the newspapers and more facets of our lives than you would care to know. I doubt this guy wants to take this class action for personal monetary gain. A corporation is not human so the only way to hurt it is in the bottom line....money. I think this guy should be commended for going to bat for so many of us who don't have the cojones. MS did try to rush an inferior system to market before it was ready because they did want to beat the holiday season and their competitors and they should pay for it. Why should I have to send my brand new Xbox to be fixed only to get it back 2 months from now (after they have my money I might add) instead of just waiting until it's ready to be released. When is the right time to do something about it, when it starts overheating and catching fire and burns down people's houses. The point is, it's all about money nowadays with corporations and we're the ones paying so we should get what we pay for. MS knew there were potential problems with this system but they just wanted it out there for Christmas. We should be happy that we have a guy on our side. Remember Ford,they knew they had a problem with Pintos catching fire but it was more expensive to recall the vehicle and fix the part than it was to just settle the lawsuits brought on by people whose family members had died. That was until someone figured out what was going on and took Ford on head on and hit them hard in the place where it hurts corporations worst....the financial statement. Don't be so naive people.
