Sean Burke filed the suit when he became frustrated that his
Xbox, which was less than a year old, had stopped working
properly.
"The defective Xboxes stop working after minimal usage, after
unreasonably, unconscionably, unusually and unexpectedly short
amounts of time," says the filing, according to Reuters.
Burke is seeking class action status for his suit, which would
allow other US Xbox owners, who had purchased their console between
2001 and 2004, to join in the action.
Microsoft would not comment, other than to state, "We've
designed and manufactured the Xbox with the highest quality
standards and our customer satisfaction is very high," reports
Reuters.
