That’s right, don’t buy an Xbox 360, especially if you live in Connecticut. This just out – the models being distributed in Connecticut are defective and Microsoft’s warranty has a special Connecticut exclusion clause which invokes double secret arbitration as the consumer’s only remedy in the case of a defect, odds of which are, I’m told off the record, in the very high 90th percentile.

Really, don’t even think about calling Best Buy every morning to see if they have any in stock. Even if they do, they will be confiscated for further in depth testing by independent reviewers like moi. I understand there’s a new Tickle Me Elmo down the street at the Toys R Us that will simply fascinate you. Now, shoo - out of my way while I, er, protect you.

PS – And don’t buy the game Call Of Duty 2 which is dangerous and known to explode.
