class action may be needed.

I have come to know fustration beyond any point with this RROD. I live in Denver Colorado and am wondering if there is any other gamers out there who would be intrested in a class action lawsuit. I only say this because my 360 broke the 17th. THey said it would take up to 2 weeks just to get a repair box. They know the system is defective and yet they have done the minimal to correct the problem. I am asking for MS to leave the fixit solution behind and to just issue CERTIFICATES that would allow EARL ADOPTERS OF THE SYSTEM to get a new one in a timely fashion as we pay for a YEAR OF LIVE AND CANT EVEN PLAY ON THAT WHILE OUR SYSTEMS ARE GETTING FIXED. So I believe we payed for the system with the idea it would have at least a five year life span. The defect rate is high enough that they should of recalled the system. Now they excpect us to not get our Money's worth on live whle the system is in for repairs. WE only need so many people to do this. so in layman's terms,

I am asking for certificates for early adopters of the system to replace their crappy one's with new one's we can feel more confident about. second is an extension on our live accounts for any period of time the system needed to be fixed. I am serious and hope there is enough poeple fed up out there who wants to do it.

You could not sue MSoft because of a faulty system. You could only sue if the item was defected prior to the sale of said item. It sucks, but they extended the service warrenty contracts of early adopters of the system. They also give you a month of live free to compensate, I think...could be wrong.

Like Metallica said..."It's sad but true." :(

1. You have no case

2. Microsoft is being generous and fixing the RROD problems you may have for free, at the cost of 1.1billion dollars to them, that they did not have to spend.

It sucks, too bad. You can't sue.

I am sure they knew that this problem would develop soon after launch and they did nothing to stop it becuase they were in a rush to be the first nex gen console. Why else would they fix them for free or give us a 3 year extended warrenty? This is what we have come to expect from M$. The 360 is the best console I have ever owned beacuse of all the great games and xbox live, but this issue is giving the 360 a bad name.striker131

No, you could file a class action if Microsoft INTENTIONALLY built problematic hardware.

also i havee a first batch 360 and its only just started to ware out and its my disk drive not the RROD problem thast starting up contrey to popular belife its only a small percentage of 360's thatare RROD'ing

Unfortunately, whether or not the OP has a case, MS has enough money to bury him so it's unlikely to actually go anywhere.

you do make a good point about live thought. i think that we should be reimbursed for the time that we cant use live when it is being fixed.

Dont know about you.

But my 360 was gone for 2 weeks.
And i got a free month of live in the box when they sent it back.

Go look for your frivolous lawsuits somewhere else, you litigious troll. Hey, moderators, lock this post!Pinman_DS9

Sadly, it would be a losing battle.thexel

I wish companies could be shut down for making extremely crappy products. Microsoft would have been long gone and nobody was forced to use this piece of loud garbage. Recall M$ instead of giving a worthless 3 year rrod warranty!BNB2000

fanboy much?

MS just needs to fix this crappy piece of hardware sitting before me. This case wouldnt get anywhere but nonetheless, MS needs to fix this garbage. A recall would have been wayyyy to costly for them so they are taking the cheaper route. There's no excuse, they Fd up. When my ps3 which has far more hardware in it can run for a full day folding with some sessions for gaming in between and still be running smooth, theres something wrong.

One thing i do agree with tho, is that they should reimburse us the time away from our consoles if its ssignificant. Last time i sent it in they had it for 2 flippen months. Gimme 2 months of live back for that.

As someone else has said "You have no case"

The entire world knows of the problems MS is having with the infamous RROD, and they have addressed and are taking the necessary steps to fix it. Now just because you have to wait 2 weeks and are upset take a step back and think of some of the people who have to wait a month (I have heard of people waiting a month). I'm sorry but your idea for class action is not justified. I have played the waiting game myself and believe me getting upset doesnt make 2 weeks come any faster. The certificate idea SHOULD be used though for people who have sent back 4 systems in under 2 months I blame this impart to shipping and shipping temperatures causing defects thats just my thought though.

Seriously I feel your pain man. After 9 premiums failing and a now freezing and glitching Elite all I know is Frustration from M$. Every one will say its user error blah blah blah, but the numbers keep rising for defective consoles. Funny how defective consoles are still being put out so long aftre launch yet its user error still LMAO. Sooner or later a lawsuit or the government it self will stop M$ its just a matter of when.

The people saying that Lawsuits would fail are idiots. This would be the perfect time to start a lawsuit. Its a known fact the 360 fails A LOT! Xbots cant handle that known FACT, honestly post this in sytem wars, and see what the responses are. Dont expect any respect from anyone inthe 360 forums, they bleed green, and Gates is there slave master. Honestly go with a PS3 or a Wii or both, the 360 is not worth the headache, dont get hooked on the 360's games like a lot of have and keep putting up with defects and finding it exceptable. Its not exceptable PERIOD.

Generous? Ha! They were just trying to generate a little good PR and maybe people would think the problem is fixed. Which it never was and never will they will just recycle the same crappy consoles to people with problems. I will be sending my 2nd xbox in for a replacement soon. Anyway people have sued for worst reasons in the past, why not this?

Are you stupid? Filing a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. Have fun with that. The only thing you will get is a counter-lawsuit for trying to ruin their public image. It wouldn't matter if they built a bomb into the 360, you can't win.

I hear ya those people in the xbox forums are whores to M$, you vent your frustration and they freak, let them have their problems they will continue to formany more years to come and through whatever console M$ puts out next. I am done! this is not user error, I bought my console on boxing day last year and it just went this week. I hit GOW hard in Jan-Feb., moved to my girlfriends only played it on weekends whileI was there until I got GH2 in Sept. I have never played it more than 6 hrs. a day, I even kept the cats out of my room so their hair would not get in it. After reading about people replacing their 3rd, 4th and 5th already this is it, it is my first consoleupgrade since PS2 I thought I was buying a good product. I wish I could sell it but nobody now is going to buy this piece of junk.

Thats the truth. Seriosuly, if everyone that had a working one came on here to say so, no one would ever head the broken RROD complainers ever again. you'd be flooded out.
