Halo 3 crashes 360s? Class action lawsuit says yes

Microsoft is used to getting sued. But this latest lawsuit even has the well-seasoned lawyers over at the Big M sweating it out a little.
A new class action suit against Microsoft alleges that it's blockbuster game, Halo 3, is incompatible with Xbox 360s and is the cause of crashing and making the machine unstable.
This can't be good news as the Xbox 360 has already taken major hits for repair warranty costs to the tune of $1 billion. If this class action suit goes to court and the charges against Microsoft are proven correct, it could take a big chunk out of the profits of its biggest selling game to date--Halo 3.
CNBC discusses the problems of the 360's Red Ring of Death and the charges. For a look, check out the video here.

Never crashed on me. :/
Although it's like some of the objects in the distance are like see through grills... :/
sounds wierd
Well, this cant possibly be good, but with a powerhouse like Halo, people will just go with a "ITS HALO! I NEED IT!!!" Mentallity.
ok, this is a stupid lawsuit. i hope microsoft wins this
I don't fully understand...If your 360 goes RED on you, you can have it fixed no matter what caused the redness (except for stupidity or negligence) right? If so, why sue? just send it in and get it fixed....right?
