A Huge "D'OH" Heard from Microsoft

So the Game Developers Conference (GDC) is going on as we speak. This is the not so flashy gaming conference where new and exciting projects are shown by developers. This is not the same as E3 (or E for All, as it is known now) which is open to the public and there booth babes, swag, and demos galore. As expected, Microsoft has their own setup at GDC and, much to their chagrin, on of their xBox 360's has been plagued with the Red Ring of Death (RRoD). Quite funny for those who are not involved (as in EVERYONE except the hardcore fanboys and the Microsoft employees working the booth (as well as the rest of the xBox department....).

As someone who is on their third xBox 360 (only one lost to the RRoD) I still find it funny. Just goes to show when you rush something into the market, something wrong will happen. BUT, the worst part is that this thing has been out for YEARS and they're STILL having problems. Maybe Bill needs to rework these things...
