This time, it's the unhappy Xbox 360 owners that are suing Microsoft for scratched disc. The lawsuit claims that Xbox 360s scratch game discs, making them unusable. Thousands of people have been affected by and have complained to Microsoft about the problem.
Microsoft offers a worldwide disc replacement program for games that it authors. A user can send a damaged disc back to Microsoft plus $20 and receive a replacement. Microsoft also will examine and repair consoles that consumers believe may have scratched discs, the company said.
So what they are basically saying is that I need to pay $50 for a game, and on top of that, another $20 if it's scratched due to no fault of my own.
No wonder they are suing Microsoft.
Well done, Microsoft. Your fucked up hardware scratch disc, die while playing, 1 in 3 doesn't even bloody work and has a fault that is so general that no-one knows what it is. How the hell did you sell 11 million of these $500 paperweight?
