TG Daily is reporting that a California district court, one Randy Nunez (and others) have filed a lawsuit, alleging that Bungie released Halo 3 claiming that it was compatable with the 360, but in actuality, it wasn’t. No, this isn’t a joke. Hit the jump for more.

The plaintiffs claimed:

“Defendants knew or had reason to know that Halo 3 was being purchased by consumers for use on an Xbox 360 and that the buyers of Halo 3 were relying on Defendants’ skill and judgment to furnish goods suitable for that purpose…. However, Halo 3 does not function with the Xbox 360, and to the contrary, attempted use of Halo 3 consistently causes the Xbox 360 to ‘crash,’ ‘freeze’ or ‘lock up’ while the game is being played.”

They also stated Micosoft had ignored

“repeated and mounting consumer complaints and inquiries concerning this operational flaw in Halo 3″

Finally, they asserted (hey, I’m full of synonyms today!)

“Because Halo 3 is not fit for either its ordinary purpose or for the particular purposes for which it was sold, defendants have breached the statutorily implied warranties of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.”

You may notice most of this article is block-quotes from the TG Daily original. That’s because there’s very little else to this story. My opinion: The claimants are nuts.

    I have played tons of Halo 3 and can't even remember having it crash. Most likely these morons had bad systems. People making these kind of law suits should be dragged through the streets by their unmentionables. Pure Idiots!!!

    Agreed. God bless California!

    Well they probably didn't bother to mention all the other games that didn't “work” on the 360 – ie. the 1st-gen 360 and it's RRoD etc. ;)
