That is pretty standard, and "acts of god" in law means: floods, earthquakes, etc. Shit you should be insured for if you're not a fucking moron who deserves to loose everything.

That actually seems pretty fair, what Microsoft should cover shit they're not responsible for?

You can't have the word God refered to in US law as it violates separation of the church from state.

It's not a law, it's a contract you fucking moron.

A contract which still needs to be defended in a court of law.

It's still not a law, are your parents fucking twins or something?

The constitution is about legislation, and Supreme Court decisions. I don't even live in your fucking shit country and I know that. Go back to high school or something.

Last time I checked, Aloone_Jonez doesn't live in the US either.

Kintaro is correct - 'act of god' is a common legal term which refers to unforeseeable events.  Since it is implicit in the term that god didn't actually cause the event in question (it's a figure of speech), this does not violate separation of church and state.

It says power surge. What if it is a surge caused by the system itself (very unlikely)

Didn't Microsoft have to replace the power cords for free on all the original Xboxes because they caused fires and shit?  I got one mailed to me as part of a recall program.

Anyway, I try not to buy products who aren't designed to have the minimal failsafes against voltage spikes.

It also doesn't violate it because its a private agreement and Microsoft is not the state.

They might have. I don't particularly remember though, and I recently got a 360 (more along the lines of my brothers idea -_-)
