BUZZ: Class-action Xbox 360 lawsuit numero uno

The most surprising thing about this is that Microsoft is being taken to court over an issue that isn't the red ring of death. This one, strangely enough, is about disc scratching during the "reasonable, foreseeable, normal and intended use" of game discs.

Those who've brought the matter to court are seeking 5 million dollars from Microsoft. It's chump change for the company, but that's a whole lot of compensation for a few scratched discs. I must admit to having had a fleeting desire to take a sharp implement to my DVD collection and blame it on Sony.
