Xbox is selling a red ring of death poster

Perhaps the most infamous hardware error in gaming history is the Xbox 360’s red ring of death, and Microsoft just put it on a poster.

Power On: The Story of Xbox, a new documentary series, chronicles the 20-year history of Microsoft’s console. Everything from the heights of Halo 2’s launch down to the extreme lows like the launch of the Xbox One. Nothing, however, is quite as bad as the Xbox 360’s infamous red ring of death — which indicated your console wasn’t going to work anymore. 

The fatal error was widespread, resulting in Microsoft offering an extended warranty program that  cost the company over a billion dollars. Now, the legendary three red lights can hang blissfully on your wall for $24.99  here.

You can check out the poster below. Personally, I’m not too keen on reliving adolescent trauma, but whatever floats your boat! 

Power On: The Story of Xbox is already up on YouTube for free. Part 5  all about the red ring of death and how it nearly cost Microsoft’s entire reputation during that console generation.

Many industry people credit Xbox boss Phil Spencer for turning the brand around in recent years. Specifically the success of Game Pass.
