Anyone else mad at the "gamers" that are suing microsoft?

These guys call themselves gamers and they aresuing microsoft just for not being able to get on xbox live? wtc. people like them are going to ruin the gameing industry. anyone else feeling thoughts of anger?

*are suing

No, why should I be? They are allowed to do that. They paid fora service that they are not reciving, if it was free that would be one thing, but it isn't. Why aren't you angry at microsoft? Do you like not getting what you pay for?

not really. seen people sue for more stupid things than that.

it's the (new) american dream it seems.

I don't necessarily agree with people suing MS, especially because MS will provide a free XBLA game, but still, people have every right to be upset. When you pay for something and your'e not receiving anything, there's cause to be upset. Some people here have said XBL was down for 2 days, which is completely incorrect. XBL has been having wide spread issues since Christmas, which was quite a while ago.

The only problem with MS giving a free XBLA game is that many people don't care about XBLA games. They paid their money to be able to play online, and that's what they want. MS should really just compensate people a month of XBL Gold, or at least offer one of the two: the game, or the month.

that's actually what bothers me most in all this. "micro$oft giving away free game" is what i read everywhere.. they're not doing it for us, it's to make the general public think good of them because they don't know it's some cheap arcade game that most probably wont even like,. people who don't know think it's an actual $60 game.

if they really wanted to give us something, they'd give us points.. but they don't because the PR isn't as good as it is if you say you're giving everyone a free game.

Things happen folks, XBOX live was down for no more then 48 hours...this isnt the end of the world. I personally hope they get counter sued into oblivion.Oni_Ookami

48hrs...?? I was having trouble logging into live for 3 weeks. Halo 3 and COD 4 were having so many issues getting into matches and getting your friends to join. It was not just two days...more like 3 weeks. M$ should have known this was going to happen with all the sales of the 360 for the holidays.

What angers me more is people who care about the matter, because you obvioiusly spend less time dealing with your own life than worrying about retarded stuff.

Wow. People get mad and worked up over 5 USD. Incredible. I wish you people would care as much about your broken health-care system or any other IMPORTANT issue.Flavour666

Yes, let's give all our money to the gov't. They'll take care of us.

I have no love for microsoft, but it's kind of depressing to see that we have reached a point where not only are there people greedy and selfish enough to go through with such a lawsuit,but that there are so many people (on this forum) that agree with it.

The service is only $5 a month....how did they come to the conclusion that they deserve $5,000,000 for this situation....sure a month or some microsoft points would be great....but it's $5

which just goes to show how much of a corrupt POS microsoft is, "we make no guarantee that our service will actually work" well we make no guarantee that we wont sue.

i love the xbox 360, but hate microsoft (and sony, nintendo, and pretty much all money grubbing businesses, which is pretty much all businesses) and this fine print, **** the costumer mentality is why. every thing they've done to "please" the costumer is just to make sure they get as much money as they can, if they didnt cheap out when constructing the 360 the RroD wouldnt be a problem, and if they couldnt have been sued, they wouldnt have fixed it at all. its about the bottom line, not the costumer, and thats why i'll never be upset when any business gets sued, for whatever stupid reason. "my cola had no ice, give me money"

These guys call themselves gamers and they aresuing microsoft just for not being able to get on xbox live? wtc. people like them are going to ruin the gameing industry. anyone else feeling thoughts of anger?

Wow how ignorant can you be nyc05? If you think bobderwood is "100% correct". Be reasonable and realize that we were not denied service for very long at all and MS is refunding us the cost of one month with a free game. So I cannot see how you agree with this guy at all. One more thing is that, you, I and everyone on this board know that these people are just looking for a way to get easy money instead of working for thier money like decent people do.

Exactly. All you people saying they are paying for a service they are not recieving should just take it back. They pay for it? So what. Do you sue your cell phone carrier everytime you are unable to get service? Do you sue your cable company whenever a channel or something messes up? No.

Also, it's really not that serious. XBL was down, so what. Do. Something. Else. It won't kill them to go to the movies or just watch some TV. Shoot they have Live, which obviously means they have access to the internet, so why not surf the web?

for some reason I see this small band of upset gamers being the same kind of dudes who went out and bought numerous PS3's sold them for outrageous prices... gamer scum.

I'm not upset with them, its their nature to be lame. honestly, they marked themselves for public hate... their problem now, not mine :P

Even if they put that, it's not a valid clause because its abusive. In any case, they would put on everything and we would be screwed. If that would be the case, they would put this "Open this box and get the console out, the moment you plug it in, we are no longer responsible for the RROD."

Maybe they are suing 'cause they want to GAME online on a service they are paying for. If anything it makes them more hardcore. Support the games, not the system.

I do think the lawsuit is a bit rediculous, but Microsoft does owe them and others compensation. The people that are telling people to quit whining are unaware that many others are still experiencing problems. And many have been for quite some time now. The persons that keep telling people to quit whining are usually little emo boys that are mad people aren't paying attention to them.rubberGasket

Lol the ones trying to gain attention are the ones whining hell they are getting attention here. So why dont you crawl back into your emo hole and dont get into this conversation
