Law Firm Investigating Xbox Live Bans To Obtain Refunds



Law firm AbingtonIP is investigating the Xbox Live banning session made by Microsoft labelling it as 'convenient' following the mass sign ups for the paid service following the release of Halo 3: ODST. The firm intends to seek refunds for those who paid for an Xbox Live Gold Membership.

Joystiq legal columnist Mark Methenitis believes the firm is just attempting a cash grab targeted at a company with plenty to spare:
“To me, this certainly sounds a lot like a cash grab directed at a company with deep pockets, but perhaps there are more facts than they are letting on. If, in fact, Microsoft is inducing people to buy a service only to terminate them, then there’s certainly a deceptive business practice concern.

“But this seems far more cut and dry than that.”
