Despite their best efforts to replace Xbox 360 consoles that have failed, including upping the warranty for free, Microsoft is now facing a class action lawsuit out of California over the hardware failures.

What a load of total crap.. The failure rate against the total sales figures seems to be a little high at around the 1% mark... without numbers.. accurate numbers from M$ that is an educated guess from the number of first release batch and later ones I see through my workshop Unacceptable for consumer electronics where the accepted fail under waranty period is suggested in manufacturers literature at 0.3%
I laugh at people like you so you were one of the only people to have a stable console on launch. Mine had RROD 30mins from removing from the packaging. 7 consoles later and I am now trying an Elite. I have one friend on his 13th and another on his 9th with the average being 4. How you can sit there with fake figures and hapily say its 0.3% is beyond me.
How many time over the past 2yrs has M$ come out with figures which have been laughed out the door for not being as accurate as they were making out?
I wonder how many of you complainer even have Xbox360?
having gone through the RLOD, Xbox was quick to accept and exchange my xbox free of charge. I received a new system, a lot of people are getting refurbished thats unfortunate, but at least they can still send them back if they get the problems again. But what do people really think they will get out a class action suit? There money back and a new system?

you didn't read the article did you ? it's like a trust fund for the state of california,if they win the laws suite it's got nothing to do with moaning it's about the product and M$ deception or maybe a better word,knowing they were bound to have faulty consoles,not quite the words i was looking for but is close enough, It's a trust fund for the public not just a single person or company.
