Randy Nunez is a man on a mission. A mission to make Microsoft and Bungie pay for their crimes against gamers. Despite Halo 3 being a relatively well polished, complaint-free game, Nunez claims that he is one of a great many people who have encountered game breaking glitches, and he wants his day in court.
"Halo 3 does not function with the Xbox 360, and to the contrary, attempted use of Halo 3 consistently causes the Xbox 360 to 'crash,' 'freeze' or 'lock up' while the game is being played." alleges Nunez. The suit also claims that there have been "mounting" complaints about the game, which neither Microsoft nor Bungie have seen fit to address. There doesn't seem to be an explanation as to why this complaint is happening in 2009 when the game was released in 2007.
"Because Halo 3 is not fit for either its ordinary purpose or for the particular purposes for which it was sold, defendants have breached the statutorily implied warranties of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act," the suit continues.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Three years too late, and simply very wrong indeed. The very fact that something like this could even get filed is evidence enough that America's legal system has been f*cked by too many stupid people clogging it up with frivolous, greedy idiocy. I hope this guy gets humiliated.

putting his Halo3 disc in a PS3...
Haha that's a good one.
And yeah I agree with Mr. Sterling. Especially about the:
"I hope this guy gets humiliated"
part.
People like this deserve the 4chans getting them.
Unless... when he plays Halo 3, is he one of those nuts who plays for 10-15 hours at a time?
The stupids are coming!
Fuckin' stupids.
Laugh because it's compeltely ridiculous, sad because people are foolish/greedy enough to try it. Now, I'm ignorant on law, and law related topics, and maybe something like this exists, but it makes me wish that once this fool gets his ass handed back to him for being stupid, Bungie and MS could counter-sue for "unnecessary harassment" or "wrongful conviction" or something. :P
I'm one of them, and I've never had those issues. Somebody needs to learn to use google before screaming for his lawyer...
Gates will love smash the guy with it's giant wallet

Totally agree with Jim, though: this guy's a prize spunk sock.
...nah, he's going to lose. This won't even see the light of court.
Attempts to lay down arms and bargain with the aliens in Halo 3 always fail. Repeated attempts to lay down the controller and shout at the TV "I'm unarmed! I mean you know harm!" always end in death. I am never entered into peace negotiations or, at very least, taken hostage. Sure signs that the game is broken.
For this reason, I am suing for an extra zillion dollars for the miscarriage of tragic judgly justice.
I rest my case and love you dearly.'
This guy is just going to lose a shit ton of money in legal fees if this doesnt get thrown out of court.
>_> sad lonely pancake PS3 bastard
As I said, this is a case of a bad lawyer who doesn't really understand the principles he's working with, and is trying to make a name for himself with a "big" case. Plus, I almost guarantee he's hoping for a settlement, which I sincerely hope he does not get.
