Man sues over faulty XBOX360

Now this is a strange one a man is taking MS to court because his console crashes because it overheats.
I seem to remember things come with warranties. Now I am not keen on MS and the way it does business, but still it has only been 10 days since its release, it would be like buying a coffee, deciding it was not warm enough, and then taking court action 10 seconds later.
Of course I am suspicious of his motives, the console wars are hard and bitter, and it would not surprise me if there were other motives involved. But who knows. Maybe when he called them to report it, they were dismissive.
But my experience of MS and my Xbox problems were very good.

This does reflect our society in general. Companies do look upon us not only as consumers but also as potential litigants.
One only has to talk to a lawyer, and they will agree, that they must look upon clients as future problems, particularly if a case does not go the client’s way.

This is the viscous circle we live in today, companies look on us problems, we think all companies are trying to cheat us.
Lawyers make tons of cash .The law does not serve us but only serves itself just like everything else.
