Red Ring of Death

a form of error message on the xbox 360. the red ring of death replaces the ring of light, the green circle surrounded the power b-tton. the red lights indicate a sort of error message and the number of lights and placement of them mean different things. the worst would be three lights flashing, with the top-right not illuminated. in this situation, it means the 360 is suffering hardware failure.

comparable to the blue screen of death.

a common occurance between xbox 360 owners. caused because microsoft was too quick in building their console, resulting in cheap software. the worst is when the top right is not lit, meaning software failure. many websites recommend you fixing it yourself, but this is highly unrecommended, due to tampering and resulting in loss of warranty. do not listen to these people! they don’t know how to fix nothing!
person 1: man! the red ring of death for the second time!
person 2: just twice?! you’re lucky! i’ve seen it nine times!
person 1: microsoft sucks donkey ba—!
