[citation][nom]RicardoK[/nom]jellico, even tho MS may release some (most) softwares with bugs I fail to see how one Halo 3 copy would freeze just his console and no other. Seems to be a 2006 console that is failing but it hasn't RROD yet. Why not just claim a warranty for the 360? It's cheaper..@shrex maybe he is his own attorney and he is taking legal classes.[/citation]
Hey, I agree with you. It's far less trouble to get your Xbox serviced, or to exchange your copy of Halo 3. But, for some people it's all about the reckoning (or the money, in the case of frivolous lawsuits).
As for the cost of attorney fees... well, if he can find a lawyer who thinks the defending company will settle (which is what most of these ambulance chasers are looking for; they really don't want to end up in court), then the case would be taken on contingency. Basically, if he wins and the company pays a settlement, the lawyer takes a third off the top, then the legal expenses sans the lawyer's fee will be deducted, and if there's anything left he'll get his payday.
This is why lawyers make so much on lawsuits and the victims get so little. One of the main lawyers who sued the DOW-Corning over health problem supposedly caused by breast implants made over a billion dollars in fees from the class action suit. It bankrupted DOW-Corning not once, but twice. The victims received between $10,000 and $250,000 each. In 2006, having found no evidence that silicon breast implant cause ANY health problems, the FDA once again approved them for use in elective breast augmentation surgery. The scumbag lawyers, however, don't have to give back any of the money from their fallacious and frivolous lawsuits. You gotta love our legal system!
