Title: Microsoft hit with $5 million lawsuit over Halo 3, Xbox 360 problems
Post by: Foxy Brown on November 29, 2007, 05:17:51 PM

The Bungie-developed Halo 3 is designed to be hand-in-glove compatible with the Xbox 360, right? A federal lawsuit filed against Microsoft and Bungie last week attempts to throw some serious doubt into the mix. The suit alleges that Halo 3 "routinely, consistently, and systematically 'froze,' 'crashed,' or 'locked up.'" The suit then claims that these issues "disrupted game play," which, if these issues are as terrible or widespread as the suit alleges, is an understatement. The plaintiff, Randy Nunez, is seeking seeking class-action status along with $5 million in damages plus costs and attorneys' fees.  (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071128-microsoft-hit-for-5-million-dollar-lawsuit-over-halo-3-compatibility-issues.html)
