Xbox Live’s Terms Now Include Section That Prevents Class Action Suits

4.3
Though the Xbox Live Dashboard update has finally been made available to the public after a slight delay, there are still some who are reporting problems logging back onto the service after completing the download. While we’re sure that Microsoft is addressing the problem, a new issue has come up that should concern any Xbox Live user living in the United States.

See, as part of the Terms of Use for Xbox Live, Microsoft has created a few new clauses that, in essence, say users cannot sue or join in a class action suit against Microsoft. It’s very similar to the clause that was added to the Sony terms after the PSN hack, but it’s still pretty unsettling.

vokal what are you gonna do sue them for violation of the COC ? if there is a legit issue M$ usually hooks it up with swag and free repairs
I think I'd rather sue Microsoft for millions of dollars than getting "swag and free repairs" lol...

But hey, that's just me

They cannot prevent class actions in the UK.

This is why we need to continue to push ourselves to use the Jtagged consoles more often and services such as Xlink Kai. Just take a look at what all the homebrew developers can do with few resources. I think this would be the best way to combat the industry tactics we all hate, without simply not buying video games and consoles.

To stop idiots from sueing them for millions of dollars.
