Yeah, I know what you will say. This is obviously some guy lying. That's exactly what I thought too. I know the failure rates are too high, but 12 for one person? Poor guy though, he still says he loves his 360, even though most of the time he hasn't had it in his possession.

"I'm no fanboy," he says, but there's no doubt he's a 360 fan. He purchased his first machine a month after the console launch, but, since then, Justin has not had a working system for longer than a month or two. The list of problems is almost comically large: three red lights of death, two with disc read errors, two dead on arrival, several with random audio and video-related issues and one that actually exploded.

    Wow. 11 broken 360s for one person. I cant believe it. That is terrible. I really would have given up after about 3 broken ones and just wanted my money back.

    My 360 broke about six months after I got it; Red Ring of Death. I sent it in, got a new one, Red Ring again.

    After getting a new one for that, I just decided to sell mine. I haven't owned a video game system in over half a year. I guess I kind of lost the feeling for it.

    Reading the comments replying to that story, it seems quite credible, as there seem to be many other people who are at least on their 3rd, 5th, or eighth systems. I was a little wary of the Box, but now I'm pretty Terrified of it! Interesting that I've yet to hear any such problems coming from the other two next gens. Anyone up to the challenge?

    Son of a bitch, I'd give up on the 3rd one.

    But hey, to each their own...he should make sure he does the "towel trick" on his next 360 to "cure" it off his RRoD.

    What's wrong with these 360s?

    That is, simply said, a *bleep*ing joke. I would never be so loyal to such a faulty console, at most I would have gotten two 360s if I considered first console breaking a one off. Just think of all of the money gone to waste there.

      Unless he's incredible rich and/or stupid, he would have claimed a replacement under warranty for each one, so only paid for the first one.

    That is loyalty, i myself gave up on Microsoft after my first one broke, it is a good system but it has so many hardware faults and Microsoft won't fix them.

    ... I definitely would have given up at 2 or 3.
    I got a Wii for Christmas that was broken - took it back - my next one broke, so I just save up and kept the money ^^

    Microsoft really needs to fix all these problems ... if one of his 360's has blown up, I'd hate for someones computer to blow up !

    Wow, an exploding 360 that's never happened to anyone I know, I mean I've only gone through 1 and now my second one is working fine for over 4 months now.

    That's waaaaay too many 360's. It would be more succesful if half of them worked. But 11? I would give up after 1 broken 360.

    You know, if my console broke, I'd chime into Microsoft with my warranty and say "gimme more." After 3 or 4, I'd say screw this and move on to the Wii. Naturally, I'd buy the Wii first anyways...

    This is sad. He better get all his money back, if not a little more.

    At some point you have to think, is it Microsoft's fault, or something this guy is doing.

      MS fault. I mean they rushed there system to start getting a lead and got too damn lazy with there hardware.

    Wow. I cannot see this happening. Either the guy got really unlucky and got some messed up 360's due to something happening at the factory or he messed it up himself.

    I'm still on my first 360, with no problems.
