Coeus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Yea... that's messed up. Yes the outage sucked. Should service have been better? Yes. Are people paying for a service they didn't receive? Yes Is the approximate $1 a week you pay for XBOX live service in any way worth $5 million in damages to 3 customers? dee dee dee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanin 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I doubt they will get much, maybe some money for the days Live was out. If it's a pay service and if not, then they'll have to probably show some sort of reliance and detriment due to their reliance on a promise of service? I also don't understand the $5 mill figure or where it came from, usually judges don't randomly give out money because they know a lot more law suits of that caliber will appear on their docket and...judges don't want to do any extra work!

Ryee 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 not trying to defend this ridiculous law suit but just as a clarification: its a class action suit; i.e., 5 million dollars is a figure entitled to compensate all xbox live users who were "harmed" during the outage. the 3 people who filed the suit are just named plaintiffs for the paperwork. even so, a 5 million dollar suit wouldnt net people jack. as of november, xbox live had roughly 8 million users...giving every one 63 cents if the suit was to win. *woopty doo* then again, the lawsuit is more of a statement by some angry customers about their perceived injury from the servers being down. anyways, its a stupid idea.....but 3 people wont be getting 1.6 million each Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesf 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Most of the reports are saying it was because of an influx in new users, however theres the rumor of a possible DoS attack on Passport\Live authentication that basically screwed it all up for Live since thats how everyone gets authenticated. http://www.primotechnology.com/2008/01/03/...sult-of-attack/ Edited January 9, 2008 by Joesf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
