Xbox 360 user sues Microsoft for $500 billion

4.6
The latest case of a Xbox 360 gamer suing Microsoft has surfaced and this time the man filing the legal action is asking for a whopping $500 billion (with a b) from the company. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that David Stebbins from Arkansas filed a motion earlier this week in Seattle as he tries to use the terms of his Xbox Live contract against Microsoft. According to the story, Stebbins claims that on May 6 he sent a notice to Microsoft that he was "unilaterally amending the terms of service" of his Xbox Live contract. He also claimed that if Microsoft did not terminate his contract with him within 10 days, it would have to accept the new terms of service.

In effect, Stebbins is trying to do what companies like Microsoft do when they change the terms of a contract with consumers. Most people receive emails with the new terms and blindly accept them without even reading them.

Stebbins claims that after Microsoft didn't terminate the Xbox Live contract he then invited the company to have legal talks to discuss the case which he claims involve the $500 billion in damages. Microsoft didn't respond in which case Stebbins claims he is the automatic winner of that massive amount of money.

The article points out that Stebbins has also filed lawsuits against a number of other businesses with similar terms. Many of those lawsuits have been dismissed by the courts. Yet Stebbins says he is not just sending out frivolous lawsuits for the heck of it, claiming, "My true goal is not to just harass, and it's not just to get rich. My true goal is to level the playing field

[quote]Are you stupid?? The hardware isn't purposely made for it to break. Its just that some gamers play too much and they overheat. Thats the truth to how they break. We all know it. Anything else that breaks is proably from you smashing it cause you died in Cod. I think your stupidest point was about the discs. Thats not even MS choice. And it may cost 1-2$ to make the discs but think about the developers smart ****. 60$ might be alot but think about PS3. Exact same price.

Yea it is bull-**** that they raised the price of Live but really, you pay for the service. Gas prices are always changing. Food prices are always changing. Prices for services are always changing. Its not a big deal. You pay once a year.

Ummmm actually yeah dip ****, they do make it to break on purpose. Now, i dont know about the new xbox's but the old ones had a 51% failure rate and they said that they new the problem and when you send your broken xbox in to get it fixed, they DONT FIX IT!!!! THEY MAKE IT THE EXACT SAME WAY IT WAS BEFORE AND BREAKS THE EXACT SAME WAY. You're **** retarded. Look this **** up like i did dumb ****.
Calm down everyone ^ hes the one suing Microsoft for monopoly money
Oh, and all that hard research must have really taken a while to gather because i google xbox 360 failure rate and got a list with every factoid your repeating http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1014486p1.html
Who the **** said HARD research, i said do some research. And thanks for proving my point kid :D
Was that really meant to go against me? lol
Well let me introduce some 6th grade math here. As you see the numbers increase on ps3 and wii at secondary hardware failures but xboxs number goes down and its only so high because the original failure rate is 50% oviously more xboxs, majority, more ###. Not only that but most people with a working xbox arent going to waste their time filling out a survey unless they have RROD and are angry like you. BIASED. i win 8===D~~~~

Byakuya_Kuchiki In all honesty tough, i agree with this guy. Microsoft has been **** us over too many times. Their hardware is **** and is PURPOSELY made to break so they can make another buck. It costs 1-2$ for a disk to be made and yet they charge $60 per copy, and they are STILL going to raise the prices. (it use to be $35) AND they raised the price of Xbox Live membership recently. To be honest with you guys, and i dont know if im the only one, but this is seriously **** up and im tired of it.

Would you calm your 12 year old ass up. My first xbox got red rings the first year. I didnt play it that much. I sent it to them, they fixed it, and sent the same exact one back. And i still have the same exact one and havent had any problems, plus i play a lot more now. Plus red rings they fixed for free. Just like anyother technological thing in the world, it has its kinks. Anything breaks cuz nothing is perfect. Its like saying i broke my arm and went to a doctor. It healed, then i broke it in the same spot later in life. And saying they purposely didnt fix your arm right the first time to get more money. Well it is all about money but thats beside the point.
