New Xbox 360 Loses Red Ring of Death

Tweet

Perhaps the most horrible thing an Xbox 360 gamer can see (and this is coming from someone who has seen it twice now) is the fabled Red Ring of Death, an error message symbolized by the front of your Xbox 360 flashing red on its power button. The new, slim Xbox 360 will never, ever, give you a Red Ring of Death.

Put down your wallets, gamers–just because it won’t Red Ring doesn’t mean they’ll never have their bizarre overheating issues again. In fact, the only difference is that the new Xbox 360′s power sign cannot display the color red.

Now, so the word goes, instead of that horrible ring of red firing back at you while you’re blasting Super Mutants or going for the diving header, and your 360 develops some catastrophic system failure, you’ll now get a flashing ring of green. Well, I guess that’s one problem corrected, even if it’s not the problem we would have preferred corrected.
