Xbox Live Members Sue Microsoft For Faulty Service: your thoughts

The poor Xbox 360 had another blow dealt to them earlier this week. Three Texas gamers have decided to sue the company last December after they couldn’t get online to play popular games Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3.

In a class-action lawsuit which was filed on January 4th, Keith Kay, Orlando Perez and Shannon Smith claimed that along with millions of other Xbox Live users, they suffered damages of $5 million.
