Title: Microsoft resolves lawsuit over Xbox Fall Update Post by: Tanya on August 03, 2007, 08:38:12 PM Microsoft resolves lawsuit over Xbox Fall Update
Microsoft has reached a resolution in one Xbox 360 lawsuit. The latest court filing in the case of Kevin Ray v. Microsoft Corp. (PDF, 3 pages) indicates that the two sides have agreed to dismiss the case. Ray's lawyer, Darren Kaplan, said via phone Friday that the case has been settled, but the terms are confidential. Ray's suit focused specifically on the Xbox 360 Fall 2006 software update, alleging that it caused his Xbox 360 and others to stop working. Although the case was filed as a proposed class action, the two sides agreed to settle it as an individual action. That means it won't apply to anyone else. The settlement isn't a complete surprise, given what has happened since the suit was filed in November. Particularly relevant to this case was Microsoft's announcement in December that it would extend the Xbox 360 warranty to a full year, from the previous 90 days. Microsoft cited that warranty extension in its motion for summary judgment (PDF, 11 pages) filed in May.Continue At Source Continue to this article at Bink.nu http://bink.nu/Article10678.bink |
