Microsoft getting sued, again and again.

Here comes the avalanche. No long after gamers in Florida filed a lawsuit against MS for scratched Xbox discs, gamers in the pretty state of California are doing the same. The suit alleged that "Microsoft improperly and/or negligently manufactured the Xbox 360 console in a manner that causes the expensive game discs ... to be scratched, rendering the games unusable."

This time, it's for $5 million.
Of course, MS denied all allegation.

Guess MS has more than the red ring of death to worry about. Now it's the scratch ring of death that's bothering them.

I still can't believe after a year, you would have thought MS would fix a 'significant' problem. Yet, they sat on their big fat asses and did nothing. A year later, it cost them $1 billion to extend warranty. Mind you, that's not fixing the root of the problem. That's just replacing your dead Xbox, which means, the new Xbox that replaced your dead one is still prone to the same problem. Great going.
