You obviously havn't lived in another country where you pretty much *can't sue* for anything.
I doubt this guy is going to get very much money, but thanks to him MS will probably work harder and faster to get those users who's XBox's are f*^& and get them replacements ASAP.
If it's like any of the other stories I've heard, MS is making him jump through loopholes saying his system is fine, and that if it isn't, he's still going to have to wait for X amount of months for a replacement. To me, that is being screwed over by the big guys.
In other countries I've lived it (and I love them), if you buy a defective product, your screwed. Unless it's a company who's very credible and wants to preserve their image more than abidding by the small amount of law that is required, then you're stuck with shit.
Until you get butt-raped by a company, I don't think you learn to appreciate what makes America so nice were you actually have a voice to fix things you think are wrong. All other contries I've lived in you would either be killed by the company, get death threats, or the judge would get paid off and you'd be even more screwed.
Just my 2 cents.
