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.
