Microsoft is suing DHL for allegedly breaking 21,600 Xbox 360s in a train derailment in Texas. That's right, Microsoft is suing someone else for breaking Xbox 360s.
According to an IDG News Service report (http://www.pcworld.com/article/152173/.html?tk=rss_news), the consoles were on their way to Flextronics in Hong Kong.
And according to court documents posted by a Seattle newspaper (http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/151273.asp), when the train went off the tracks a bit the poor old consoles suffered "impact damage, wetting, pilfering and shortage". Sniff.
Microsoft said DHL had refused to compensate it for the loss, which it values at USD 2 million. DHL apparently hasn't said anything.
