Red Ring Of Death(2nd mp article 5)


Do you know what the 'red ring of death" is? Don't be alarmed, It sounds kinda scary, but it's not. It has to do with the game console: Xbox360. When you turn the console on, 4 green lights light up. When one of them doesn't turn on and 3 of them turn red, this is known as the red ring of death. This happens when the console is experiencing a problem(usually from overheating). 50.4% of Xbox360's sold did this. The reason if because the way the console is manufactured is a little screwy. I really don't like this. People pay a lot of money for a game console that will just break. That's not right. I am expecting an Xbox360 for Christmas , so I really hope this doesn't happen to me. Most of the people I know that own an Xbox360 do not have any problem with there console, so I don't feel to worried. As I was saying, this is really unfair. I am surprised the makers of the console haven't done anything about it. People have been complaining for a while, but they obviously aren't putting to much thought into it. So as a conclusion, If your thinking about getting an Xbox360, get it, but be sure to get a warranty or a guarantee on it.
