Georgia Man Sues Microsoft Over Xbox Live Charges

According to a report from InformationWeek, Georgia resident Francisco Garcia has filed suit against Microsoft for what he claims was a “fraudulently induced… contractual relationship for Xbox Live services.” The problem?

The report doesn’t specify how much Garcia is seeking but mentions that Microsoft is attempting to have the case thrown out of court.
