(1/Dec) Class-Action Lawsuit Against Xbox360 and Halo 3

A new hype is building up on the Xbox360 and Halo 3, this time in a negative perspective. Evidently, a class-action suit has been filed against both Microsoft and Bungie, alleging the occasional glitches caused by the Halo 3 disc disrupts and makes the Xbox360 console totally inoperable.

arstechnica.com - The Bungie-developed Halo 3 is designed to be hand-in-glove compatible with the Xbox 360, right? A federal lawsuit filed against Microsoft and Bungie last week attempts to throw some serious doubt into the mix. The suit alleges that Halo 3 "routinely, consistently, and systematically 'froze,' 'crashed,' or 'locked up.'" The suit then claims that these issues "disrupted game play," which, if these issues are as terrible or widespread as the suit alleges, is an understatement. The plaintiff, Randy Nunez, is seeking seeking class-action status along with $5 million in damages plus costs and attorneys' fees.
