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.

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.

It's a quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a clever usage of the quote. Pretty funny.

Well, admittedly, if you know it, the likelihood of close family members knowing it increases pretty heavily lol.

It's kinda funny that the 360 is such a big success that even it's failures are successful :D

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

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...
