A Chicago man named Robert Byers is suing Microsoft over a design flaw in the Xbox 360 that is causing the system to overheat and freeze up. He claims that Microsoft was so concerned about releasing the system before its competition that it sold a “defectively designed” product. He says the power supply and central processing unit in the Xbox 360 overheat, affecting heat-sensitive chips and causing the console to freeze.
Molly O’Donnell, a Microsoft spokeswoman, says the company does not comment on pending litigation.
Byers is seeking unspecified damages and litigation-related expenses, as well as the replacement or recall of Xbox 360 consoles.
