Microsoft sues DHL after train dumps 21,600 Xboxes

In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, Microsoft said it is seeking more than US$2 million in damages from DHL for two containers of Xbox 360 consoles that sustained "impact damage, wetting, pilfering and shortage" after a derailment near Duke, Texas.

The Xboxes were dead before being dropped,so they should be thanking DHL instead

both of your bubbles are forfeit.

GiantEnemyLobster5675d ago

Sony is getting so desperate to defeat XBOX®360, that they are attacking anything that ships XBOX®360 so Microsoft can't get the sales. LOL, keep trying sony!!

maybe those were the xbox 360 that had jasper chips. Hopefully not

nbsmatambo5676d ago

shipping is getting really unreliable these days, my friend just told me he saw the delivery guy open his package...

rsebes5676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

I thought insurance was suppose to cover things like accidents. When your shipment gets dropped or damaged in transit, they pay to replace the item. Why does it always seem to come to law suits? (I can see if DHL isn't willing to reimburse)

meepmoopmeep5676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

the train RRoD'ed

:)

Master Debater5675d ago

Wow that did not make sense at all but still really funny LMAO

Nostradavis5675d ago

via ripten:

I am praying for some ungodly small fine print that reads something like this:

"DHL is not responsible for damages unless all 4 rings on the front of our train light up red upon impact."

[insert "360 hardware is a train wreck" joke here]

Hell, I don't blame them.... Atleast, the DHL guys that work here in central Florida are ALL PS3 fans. I know this because my job requires me to converse with dozens of them face to face on a daily basis.

Overall they're a bunch of cool dudes. Goofy as hell........but they're good guys. And they LOVE PS3.

I wouldn't be surprised if this "accident" truly happened on purpose. Maybe M$ knows that, and maybe that's why they're suing.

But, I really don't blame them, if it was ME, I would've droven the train right of the tracks and drove it straight into its demise.

I would consider myself a hero... Saving hundreds of people from buying a mediocre product and saving them the hassle of inevitably getting RROD.

if you REALLY want to help people..its really simple for you,just stop talking! or maybe not...some people feels good when they hear retards like you speak,it makes them realize they are lucky to be normal!

TheDude2dot05675d ago

Wow good one crystallakekiller. That showed him.

JBaby3435675d ago

Like they wouldn't have broke anyway. This just saves time.

deeznuts5675d ago

Lol, it's like Final Destination. Even if they avoided death by derailment, the boogie man going to get them later anyway, one by one!

On a serious note. DHL sucks. really bad. They are the worst carrier ever.

DHL is a horrible shipper. Anytime I order anything they are always late . UPS and fedex all the way.

Nitrowolf25676d ago

i never even heard of this, i only use UPS well until the guy dropped one of our package out of his truck

Bnet3435676d ago

I prefer UPS. FedEx always leaves their damn doortags.

thereapersson5676d ago

I find that UPS always manages to send packages in boxes that have been crushed or damaged in some manner.

Bubble Buddy5675d ago

You know the Fedex logo has an arrow? AHA. Anyways, I use UPS or Fedex, sometimes Purolator (Canada).

thereapersson5675d ago

Are you people there whenever I receive packages, ready to inspect them for damage? I don't think so!

TrenchaunT5675d ago

I use the Postral Service...since most of the boxes I send are books (media mail ftw)

TheDude2dot05675d ago

UPS is the one that sends the least broken boxes for me. I know the guy that made Fedex, but every time I got a shipment, the box was damaged in some way.

ICUP5676d ago

Does that count as sold?

thereapersson5676d ago

But they still count them as being "shipped", which companies will also use to trick the consumer into thinking they are doing better than they are.

suspected as taliban bombs.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

CrimsonWing6912h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker12h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6911h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos17h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto17h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8816h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies6h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
