xbox.gif Justin Lowe is a man who loves his xBoxes. Sadly it's a one-sided affair. He's had 11 consoles, all of which have gone defective. The problems read like a report from the front lines: three red lights of death, two dead on arrival, several random video and audio issues and one explosion.

When it comes to Microsoft's xBos, this guy has the kind of luck that is usually reserved for biblical characters. He's currently awaiting his 12th replacement, but he's holding off to take part in the Halo 3 beta.

Personally, as someone who's called every piece of technology in his house every name in the book, I empathize with this poor guy. Microsoft is calling the growing number of dissatisfied xBoxers a "vocal minority." Don't let it happen to you.

As a cautionary tale, read all of Justin's xBox stories of doom.
