Xbox 360 Red Rings of Death land Microsoft in court

This is the story that just will not go away. Microsoft has been sued for violation of consumer protection laws for continuing to sell the Xbox 360 despite being aware the hardware is (allegedly) likely to suffer the Red Rings of Death and fail.
 

Will the Xbox 360 survive past Christmas?

The red rings of death issue simply refuses to go away for Microsoft, and no matter how much it reduces the cost and extends the warranty one simple question remains: will the Xbox 360 ever be fit for purpose?
