Well... as you can plainly see, it appears that some ignorant dumb ass is at it again.
Mr. Randy Nunez in California decided to start a class action lawsuit against Microsoft and Bungie for Halo 3.
As per the 'so-called' lawsuit, he is suing because the halo 3 game for xbox 360 routinely, consistently, and systematically "froze" "crashed" or "locked up" in which disrupted game play and rendered the game inoperable.
He is suing for 5 MILLION in damages.
I think Microsoft and Bungie should take him out back and "TALK" with him to straighten this out.

That's what I though when I found out about it.
What a lame person.
This guy needs to be vaporized.
P.S. By me writing the above statement I understand I am included in the above category but I stuck it to the man on my home...the sign said "Stop", I slowed down , but just enough to make it look like I stopped but I was really still moving...take that man!
While he is suing for a whopping $5 million, it is a class action lawsuit and aimed at helping others as well.
I bought Halo 3 and began playing it for hours on end with all my friends at college. It worked fine for the first week with no problems. Then the second week came around and it began to freeze the game sometimes, but other times would play fine. Third week, more crashes, and then it would freeze whenever I tried to start the console with Halo 3. (I had never had any problems with my 360 before Halo 3)
Problem: Halo 3 accelerates the graphics card in the 360 to a point in which the Xbox 360 is no longer operable. I only get a 3 red lights error on my 360 now. It will not start. I have tried all the possible solutions such as cleaning hardware and using fans to cool to no avail.
Solution: Microsoft knows about this problem. YES they know about it. Register on xbox.com if you have the 3 red lights error and you can file a repair claim for FREE, even if your warranty has ended. My warranty had ended about 2 or 3 years ago. Anyway, they will ship you a box, you ship it to them with the 360 inside, they repair it, they ship it back to you. But I might have to wait and buy another newer version of Halo 3 because it has the tendency to ruin your 360.
Yes, I side with this Randy Nunez in California because I want to be able to get some financial sustenance for the problems with my Halo 3, Xbox 360, and time lost for shipping and repairing, as well as any other damages.
Bottom line: Halo 3 is an awesome game, I just want it to work continuously without any ill side-effects to my 360 console, which costs much more than the game itself, of course. And yes, I believe this problem affects many others, not just Randy and I.
