Microsoft sues DHL over Xbox train crash

Microsoft is filing a suit against shipping company DHL over an Xbox
shipment delay caused by a train derailment.

The company claims that DHL has refused to reimburse it for more than
$2m in damages incurred when a freight train

carrying more than 20,000 consoles derailed in Texas in October 2007.
The shipment was reportedly destined for Hong

Kong.

Microsoft contends that, in addition to damage from the accident, the
consoles were pilfered and exposed to the weather.
