Microsoft will never win this. If they try to fight it then its going to result in extremely bad press for the 360 when they need all the good press they can get to fight the Wii and PS3. And if they DO actually win this through some miracle loophole? All future Xbox systems will be stamped with a permanent "buyer beware" sticker.
They'll probably change their policy on repairs before the media can do too much damage.
Actually, the press has taken this lawsuit quite light-heartedly, defending Microsoft by stating there's 'nothing new under the sun,' referring to the abundance of lawsuits against Microsoft, or more specifically, the lawsuit involving the 360 just a year ago.
My 360 bricked due to the update. I'm currently calling Microsoft and finding ways to become involved in defending the man in California, because not only have I had it MS's poor hardware manufacturing, but I've had it with big corporations making ME pay for THEIR faulty products.
