As an Xbox owner, this story caught my attention. Apparently one man is suing Microsoft over defective merchandise. After less than a year of use, his Xbox decided to stop reading CDs/DVDs.

I must admit that if I was this guy, I would be ticked off as well. That is unbelievable and I sincerely hope that whatever components were being used in Xboxes a year ago have since been upgraded.

A video game fan upset over a failed disk drive in his Xbox video game console has sued Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O on behalf of all Xbox owners across the United States. The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, seeks to represent anyone who bought an Xbox in the United State since the console’s November 2001 launch.

The plaintiff, Sean Burke, said his console stopped reading any and all discs after less than a year of use, whether those discs were games, CDs or DVDs.
