Microsoft is being sued by consumers who are upset about the Halo 3 video game frying while they're playing it on the Xbox. Heaven help us!
TMZ obtained a class action lawsuit filed in Federal Court, which claims Halo 3 is causing major problems when played by people using Xbox systems. Randy Nunez alleges that when he used the nearly $60 game on Xbox it would "crash, freeze, or lock up" while running.
According to the suit, Microsoft and Bungie, the company who makes Halo 3, raked in close to $300 million in the first week. Nerds!
The class action suit seeks over $5 million in damages.

When the Bungie game studio isn't making gamers salivate with images from their newest Halo game, they're creating hilarity within the beta version of the game.
Early beta testers discovered a hilarious medal while playing the game. When a player gets 10 kills in a row with the shotgun without being killed -- they get the "Cheneymania" medal added to their achievements! The medal is a reference to the February, 2006 incident in which the aim-challenged Vice President accidentally shot a friend in the face while quail hunting. Doh!
Unfortunately, Bungie has already renamed the medal "Open Season," much to the dismay of Halo gamers and bird hunters everywhere.

Maybe he missed the spotlight, maybe he missed the free stuff, but rehabbed Jesse Metcalf is officially back in the party scene. Someone needs to pick up Paris' slack!
After a wild weekend in Miami and the Bahamas, the former "Desperate Housewives" houseboy rolled through the Halo 3 party in West Hollywood last night, where he picked up a free X-Box 360 Elite and little ribbing from a TMZ photog. When asked about Paris' impending jail time, Jesse commented, "That's a little harsh." Insightful!
John Salley said he was giving his Xbox 360 Elite and Zune to Charity -- his daughter Charity! John "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder hit the town with his friends. Chris Evans and the dancing Tatyana Ali made an appearance. Dane Cook, Matt Leinart and Adam Rodriguez from "CSI" were also on hand -- and gave TMZ a shout-out.
Even Paris found time to let off some socialite steam and join in gaming fun. TMZ spies claims that Hilton was dancing inside with her newest boytoy Josh Henderson and sister Nicky. Who says video games are just for boys?
Halo 3 hits stores September 25.

Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today announced that the most anticipated video game beta ever, "Halo 3" will be hitting Xbox Live on May 16 at 5:00 AM PDT and end on June 6 at 11:59 PM PDT.
Xbox 360 gamers who have secured their admission to the beta, either through the "Rule of Three" promotion or by purchasing specially marked copies of "Crackdown," will be able to play online with their Xbox Live Gold account.
This gives one full month of Red Bull-fueled, multi-player action on three new maps, with new and improved weapons and everyone's favorite new vehicle, the Mongoose. You can sleep when you're dead.
