Its been a lifelong dream of mine to have a train filled with expensive electronics derail outside my house.
It's not fair.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
The train derailed because it left the station too early. You know, to get a headstart on the trains carrying the Wiis and PS3s.

Well if they were all dead/refurb consoles then it's for the better, saves them digging a giant grave for the seemingly endless corpses.
IMO they should skip the endless refurb rehashes anyway, just keeps perpetuating the notion that the 360 is unreliable. 2 refurbs returned = brand new console for customer IMO.

XBOX 360 Train, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time PS3 Train, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do both trains meet? Which train's cargo will reach 100 million first?

That's not the first time thousands of 360s have been lost due to a bad engineer.

Guess no one read the topic. This happened last year. Exactly a year AFTER the incident, Microsoft sues DHL. Pretty late at suing, right?

they probably had some discussions and couldn't settle on a number.shagg_187 said:

I don't know why, but for some reason this is satisfying.

I don't get how this is DHL's fault. They just buy space on the train they don't operate it. Southern Pacific or Union Pacific would be at fault if anybody in the shipping process were to blame.

It isn't their fault, but they're responsible for it. I'd presume it would work something like this:Jive Turkey said:
The customer doesn't sue or negotiate with a subcontractor they've never dealt with for an issue. Its unlikely for Microsoft to know the details of DHL's contract with the rail company. Microsoft sues the contractor (DHL) who then determines if a subcontractor (Railway) is at fault, and subsequently negotiates with or sues them.
