Microsoft sues DHL after train dumps 21,600 Xboxes

In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, Microsoft said it is seeking more than US$2 million in damages from DHL for two containers of Xbox 360 consoles that sustained "impact damage, wetting, pilfering and shortage" after a derailment near Duke, Texas.

The Xboxes were dead before being dropped,so they should be thanking DHL instead

GiantEnemyLobster6443d ago

Sony is getting so desperate to defeat XBOX®360, that they are attacking anything that ships XBOX®360 so Microsoft can't get the sales. LOL, keep trying sony!!

maybe those were the xbox 360 that had jasper chips. Hopefully not

nbsmatambo6443d ago

shipping is getting really unreliable these days, my friend just told me he saw the delivery guy open his package...

rsebes6443d ago (Edited 6443d ago )

I thought insurance was suppose to cover things like accidents. When your shipment gets dropped or damaged in transit, they pay to replace the item. Why does it always seem to come to law suits? (I can see if DHL isn't willing to reimburse)

meepmoopmeep6443d ago (Edited 6443d ago )

the train RRoD'ed

:)

Master Debater6443d ago

Wow that did not make sense at all but still really funny LMAO

Nostradavis6443d ago

via ripten:

I am praying for some ungodly small fine print that reads something like this:

"DHL is not responsible for damages unless all 4 rings on the front of our train light up red upon impact."

[insert "360 hardware is a train wreck" joke here]

Hell, I don't blame them.... Atleast, the DHL guys that work here in central Florida are ALL PS3 fans. I know this because my job requires me to converse with dozens of them face to face on a daily basis.

Overall they're a bunch of cool dudes. Goofy as hell........but they're good guys. And they LOVE PS3.

I wouldn't be surprised if this "accident" truly happened on purpose. Maybe M$ knows that, and maybe that's why they're suing.

But, I really don't blame them, if it was ME, I would've droven the train right of the tracks and drove it straight into its demise.

I would consider myself a hero... Saving hundreds of people from buying a mediocre product and saving them the hassle of inevitably getting RROD.

if you REALLY want to help people..its really simple for you,just stop talking! or maybe not...some people feels good when they hear retards like you speak,it makes them realize they are lucky to be normal!

TheDude2dot06443d ago

Wow good one crystallakekiller. That showed him.

JBaby3436443d ago

Like they wouldn't have broke anyway. This just saves time.

deeznuts6442d ago

Lol, it's like Final Destination. Even if they avoided death by derailment, the boogie man going to get them later anyway, one by one!

On a serious note. DHL sucks. really bad. They are the worst carrier ever.

DHL is a horrible shipper. Anytime I order anything they are always late . UPS and fedex all the way.

Nitrowolf26443d ago

i never even heard of this, i only use UPS well until the guy dropped one of our package out of his truck

Bnet3436443d ago

I prefer UPS. FedEx always leaves their damn doortags.

thereapersson6443d ago

I find that UPS always manages to send packages in boxes that have been crushed or damaged in some manner.

Bubble Buddy6443d ago

You know the Fedex logo has an arrow? AHA. Anyways, I use UPS or Fedex, sometimes Purolator (Canada).

thereapersson6443d ago

Are you people there whenever I receive packages, ready to inspect them for damage? I don't think so!

TrenchaunT6443d ago

I use the Postral Service...since most of the boxes I send are books (media mail ftw)

TheDude2dot06443d ago

UPS is the one that sends the least broken boxes for me. I know the guy that made Fedex, but every time I got a shipment, the box was damaged in some way.

Does that count as sold?

thereapersson6443d ago

But they still count them as being "shipped", which companies will also use to trick the consumer into thinking they are doing better than they are.

suspected as taliban bombs.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde41d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy41d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels.

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
