The sad story about 11 broken Xbox 360s
Saturday
Justin Lowe. A hardcore gamer owns both HD consoles; the PS3 & Xbox 360. He loves his Nintendo DS & PSP for gaming on-the-go.He's currently using his 12th Xbox 360, because all the former ones were broken.
"I'm no fanboy" he says, but there's no doubt he's a Xbox 360 fan. He purchased his 1st machine a month after the console launch, but since then Justin has not had a working system for longer than a month or 2. The list of problems is almost comically large: 3 "Red Lights Of Death" 2 with disc read errors, 2 Dead On Arrival, several with random audio and video-related issues & 1 that actually exploded.
His Xbox 360 broke in early January, just a few weeks after purchase. For the 1st 6 months, Microsoft customer service was polite & replacements sent very quickly. Since then, things have slowly but surely taken a turn for the worse. As the reported number of problems with the consoles increases (Microsoft writes them off as "vocal minority"), shipping has started taking longer & customer service less helpful.
Talk about bad luck.
I am now on my second Xbox 360. What about you?
