1UP is running a feature on a diehard Xbox 360 fan's incredible run of bad luck, one that won't paint the console's hardware reliability in a remotely positive light. Justin Lowe, they report, is now on his twelfth Xbox 360, having sent eleven of those back to Microsoft for various repair issues. One of those allegedly even exploded (emphasis theirs and mine—I'm responsible for the bold).
Don't believe him? He's got audio proof of a phone call with an MS service rep who verifies his history of 360 troubles.
Despite these hardware setbacks, Lowe is still a fan, probably partially due to the company's efforts to compensate him for his inconvenience. Gotta say, if I were in his shoes, I'd be livid, demanding Peter Moore tattoo an apology to me on that left bicep.
