Microsoft has been hit with a new class action lawsuit alleging that the company's Xbox 360 console damages game discs.
"Microsoft improperly and/or negligently manufactured the Xbox 360 console in a manner that causes the expensive game discs ... to be scratched, rendering the games unusable," the suit alleges.
The complaint was filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for Southern California by two residents of the state: Christine Moskowitz and Dan Wood. The suit is seeking not less than $5 million in damages for Xbox 360 buyers affected by the alleged glitch.
Microsoft was slapped with a similar action last week in a Florida court.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. 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.

5 million! Those kids need to check into reality and get a job instead of hunting down there (assumed)easy sue money. All they are accomplishing is going into debt with lawyer fees. Well done kids well done
ya i don't beleive this in the least, I've had mine for over a year and all my CD's are fine, how could it scratch them? Maybe these morons are moving the console around while its running
lol. microsoft PR is gonna have their work cut out for them. I predict more law suits even thought most of them won't see trial and the best they can hope for is a settlemt from Microsoft, you gotta wonder what this will do for their PR. Word of red lights have already spread thru d gaming community but how about the general community. This could be disastrous to msoft, they need to spit out the new 360's with smaller chips asap
1 thing about this site i hate, ppl repost old news with diffrent urls. Not to nag but pay attention.
they wont get anywhere, not with the game disk thing. Microsoft has some iron clad defence for it. They changed the disk drives to stop it happening, and they put a warning in the manual not to move the xbox right from the start.
