Microsoft now faces a lawsuit over recent problems with its Xbox Live online gaming service. Three Texas residents filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of themselves and others who have had trouble connecting to Xbox Live in recent weeks.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims Microsoft's outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the software maker is liable. The suit doesn't claim specific damages, but notes the amount is in excess of $5 million.

In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Microsoft should have known strong holiday sales would tax its servers. "Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox Live and its subscribers," read the filing.

Microsoft has apologized for the outage and said it would allow Xbox live subscribers to download a free game. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available for comment.

Talk about fucking lazy. Get off your ass and go outside or something. Boo-hoo, your Xbox stopped working. The same thing was happening to my friend's last week, and you know what we did? I know, this is a long shot, and it's crazy, but...we actually...played...the game...BY OURSELVES! Just like people did it back in the old days. Only in America would someone sue because they can't play a video game online. All this is gonna do is drive up the cost of Microsoft products and services. What ever happened to calling and bitching?

People will sue over dumb shit nowadays.
 
technically, they are right. microsoft should have amped up their service, especially since a) christmas, and b) halo 3. they are at fault. microsoft always does things like this. get the money first, deal with the bitchings, repeat.

unfortunately, they are not in their right minds. teens should not play games at all. they should sit inside and study study study. then, upon learning all they possibly can, do it again again again, only suffering themselves about 3 hours to eat and sleep. then, after they graduate with a masters from harvard, and only then, can they play video games.
