Red Ring of Death T-shirt

Anyone who has witnessed the dreaded Red Ring of Death can tell you, seeing it first hand is a chilling sight. At first you smirk and chuckle with disbelief. "Just a hiccup," you say to yourself, "I'll power it off and on and it'll be fine." Once you see the wretched thing for a second time, it all sinks in. Well, guess what? Now you can commemorate that memory with the Red Ring of Death T-shirt from SplitReason. Taking a cue from 2001, the shirt features a particularly malicious (and smooth-voiced) Ring of Death. It's made of 100% cotton and it's pre-shrunk, so it should keep you from overheating (ba dum bum).
A word to the wise, if you're considering getting this for a friend who received the Ring, you might want to wait until after they get their 360 back.

seriously it took me 10 off then on for me to accept it as truth...

lol - mine is sitting in front of me wrapped up in three towels as i speak/type. Fingers crossed

If you're doing the towel thing, call MS in the meantime... at best it'll work a few more days so you're not completely bored, but it's not a worthwhile fix.
Also, I spent enough money sending the thing to them ($140 that I've STILL not gotten a refund for)... I'm not spending another $17 at some store to pay another group for my misfortune lol.

Towel trick is a good way to f'up other parts of the system that aren't covered by the new extended warranty. As Tony mentioned its not a permanent fix anyway.

Why does the shirt say "dave". Cool shirt, but i dont like the quote on it. They could have put something better on their, or nothing at all.
Tony @ Sep 13th 2007 1:21PM
It's a quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a clever usage of the quote. Pretty funny.

Honestly if you don't know that quote....go fall down a well because that quote is synonymous...
Hell I showed this post to my little brother that is 15 and he laughed his ass of because even he recognized it....
Tony @ Sep 13th 2007 1:31PM
Well, admittedly, if you know it, the likelihood of close family members knowing it increases pretty heavily lol.
Mauricio @ Sep 13th 2007 1:36PM
haha, he asked why the shirt said Dave and why they used that quote.
Hey 7th, click on the 2001 link in the blog and rent the movie. its a trip!
monolith ftw!

I'm more of a movie buff than a gamer. Understood the quote, but wish they have a version w/o it.

It's kinda funny that the 360 is such a big success that even it's failures are successful :D
The 7th Number @ Sep 13th 2007 1:52PM
i dont like sci-fi movies.
Bravo6 @ Sep 13th 2007 2:04PM
Hah, that's awesome.
I got just a refund for warranty service and mine wasn't even a RROD :)
Titty Pink @ Sep 13th 2007 10:58PM
One of these should come with your 360. Its pretty much inevitable that you'll see it for real sooner or later. I've seen it twice already...
Grant @ Sep 13th 2007 5:28PM
lol,
thats awesome.
too bad i feel most gamer shirts are lame, kinda like wearing a nascar shirt around, only less white trashy.
jxn @ Sep 13th 2007 7:12PM
so not funny, mine has been broken 2 weeks, took 10 days to get the box and its somewhere in transit on the way to Tejas.... Didnt even get to play Bioshock yet!
Mauricio @ Sep 13th 2007 7:47PM
NASCAR shirt HAHAHAHAH
Boff @ Sep 13th 2007 7:48PM
Haha! I laughed out loud at that T-shirt, got to get one!
Then almost spat my tea all over my laptop @ #5!!
Lucky @ Sep 13th 2007 10:01PM
I saw that T-shirt 28 days ago. I know the exact date caues it was the day my 360 Red Ring'd.
Rosaria @ Sep 15th 2007 5:44PM
my ring of death was ALL FOUR not just the three... =(
Ken Wolfe @ Oct 18th 2007 5:44PM
Rosaria! It's not worse to have all four! You can fix yours. Check your video cable. Chances are it's popped out. Just replug it, 'cause that's why all four reds show up. Lucky. Mine just bricked again (2nd time in five months).
