Microsoft sued over Xbox Live Currently Problem
During the New Year holiday, I remembered that my attempt to play online was severally rejected. After a few trial with different servers, I felt hopeless and ended watch tv. Many blogs after the night came out with the issues of Xbox Live connection problem and one of my friend, Soby made a joke that somebody might sue Microsoft about the trouble that everybody faced thru, and yup he was damn true!
According to Cnet news, Microsoft now faces a lawsuit over recent problems with its Xbox Live online gaming service. Three Texas residents filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of themselves and others who have had trouble connecting to Xbox Live in recent weeks. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims Microsoft’s outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the software maker is liable.
The suit doesn’t claim specific damages, but notes the amount is in excess of $5 million. In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Microsoft should have known strong holiday sales would tax its servers. “Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox Live and its subscribers.”Microsoft has apologized for the outage and said it would allow Xbox live subscribers to download a free game.
