I’m willing to bet the lawsuit will fail, and that Microsoft have some protection in the terms and conditions of Xbox Live.

I wasn’t a big fan of the downtime either – but a lawsuit? A slight overreaction, methinks, along the lines of suing for hot coffee. Yes, some games experienced a lot of problems, and MS should provide either free time or games etc as recompense, but if they’ve already agreed to provide a free game, then what are these three Texans complaining about?

Since I started using Xbox Live back with the original Xbox, it’s always been a pretty robust service, and it was only this past holiday season that everything went slow – possibly due to overloading, possibly due to updates…but things have already got back to normal pretty much…
