So, yeah, they're just a touch late to the party on this this one. But come on, "console's hotter than a dragon's breath"? That's funny. ... Well, it's funny if your 360 never broke. If you're among the unlucky more-than-a-few who've rode the ring you're probably pumping your fist in the air with the tragic sincerity of a new father listening to Creed's "Arms Wide Open" in the late 90s. Put your hand down, man. You're depressing us.

Would have been funnier if one of them accidentally paused it.

Hey, isn't that Kevin Panera with the makeup?
Kaemon @ Aug 17th 2007 12:51PM
It looked like the Xbox in there had all 4 lightings blinking, not just the 3... :-/ I don't own one but I don't think thats the bad one.

And now the flood gates of G4 hating would open. Go on, you know you want to
afroricann @ Aug 17th 2007 12:55PM

Abuzar @ Aug 17th 2007 4:30PM
That was NEW AND EXCITING!
Matt B @ Aug 17th 2007 12:55PM
LMAO!!!!

It just wouldn't be G4 if it weren't something that was both unfunny and hasn't been topical for months.
morganfell @ Aug 17th 2007 1:34PM
It's topical to anyone that it just happened to or the rest of us waiting on our 360's to be returned. Face it, if it were the PS3 you would be laughing your ass off.

RED RING OF DEATH!!!.
Hahaha this make my day.I'm a x360 fanboy and I think this is funny,but they only took 10 days to repair my x360 not 6 weeks.
The truth is that this stuff happens my first x360 died but without a RRoD.I return it when it started to freeze and scratched my disc(Dead Rising,Bless you skip Doctor.)
My new x360 has been flawless and I have been less careful with it than with my other x360.
This video is awesome,Epic Win.
Phranctoast @ Aug 17th 2007 1:15PM
that was awesome!
Kevin Larrabee @ Aug 17th 2007 1:16PM
Still G4 sucks, they killed TSS and the chick on AOTS is about as dumb as Total Recall's A.I.
Dave @ Aug 17th 2007 1:42PM
I like her. At least she's hot.
Word of the street. @ Aug 17th 2007 2:42PM
Second that,she is hawt.
Limech @ Aug 17th 2007 3:20PM
I'd say so.

Hysterical! I don't think it would be as funny if it didn't happen to you. But in fairness to Microsoft they got my console back to me, repaired, three weeks after the day it broke. Not bad.
razer @ Aug 17th 2007 1:24PM
This would be kinda funny if the joke wasn't as old as granny panties.
I actually feel less happy after viewing that.
Waits for the PS3tards to come screaming: RROD RROD RROD RROD RROD 360 sux, 360 sux.. ugghh.. Now they have a new link to add to all their sigs..
Matt B @ Aug 17th 2007 1:53PM
Nah, we've moved on.
Ihya @ Aug 18th 2007 5:11AM
Sorry, you're wrong, it is still funny until the problem goes away - mine died recently so the humour is still fresh in my heart.
Intentless @ Aug 17th 2007 1:24PM
I just got mine back the day that video released yesterday. Being a metal fan and a 360 fan I had nothing but total appreciation for that video and thought it was teh hilarious... Now to DL it and port it to my Halo 3 Zune.....
antV @ Aug 17th 2007 1:35PM
geez, that was disappointing, you'd think that they would have written a better song with the time they've had since this issue was still news.
Dave @ Aug 17th 2007 1:41PM
It might have been better if it wasn't so awful. I got goosebumps--and not in a good way.
zomboid @ Aug 17th 2007 1:54PM
I can see how this might be funny to someone who had never used the internet, heard a heavy metal song, or heard an actual joke.
Poisoned Al @ Aug 17th 2007 1:56PM
"Red Ring of Fire" was way better.
AirIntake @ Aug 17th 2007 2:09PM
That was awesomely BRUTAL!
Bert @ Aug 17th 2007 2:38PM
To be honest I thought G4TV was the worst channel on earth after TechTv was gone, and when they lost a bunch of their classic shows (what happened to the old ICONS show?). But I have to admit that I am really starting to enjoy AOTS. The two hosts are actually pretty funny and they usually cover some really interesting stuff.
fawazr @ Aug 17th 2007 3:06PM
interesting stuff like vibrating dildos (nothing intelligent comes out of Munn's mouth, but it's adequate for placing things into, I guess), and sexually ambiguous ferrets that gush over comic conventions (Butler), and Peter Steele with tits (Morgan Webb's not hot)?
pwnetheus @ Aug 17th 2007 4:49PM
Hahaha, I looked up Peter Steele... Dude, you are so right.. I can't believe I never noticed that..
ronald.raygun @ Aug 17th 2007 2:40PM
i only liked the end part with the falsetto (sp?) the rest of it wasn't funny to m
fawazr @ Aug 17th 2007 2:50PM
RRODs are a testament to just how much gamers love their 360s. Microsoft paints your faces all white and drippy with system failures and long repair/wait times, yet gamers still keep coming back for more gooey money shots.
I wont' lie though, I spend most nights praying that my 360 doesn't die on me. There really is no other gaming alternative out there... for me.
O yeah... and Kevin Pereira's not funny.
Eric B @ Aug 17th 2007 2:52PM
That video is filled with so much fail, I don't even understand how it exists. Oh right, because it's G4 and that station sucks.
Mromson @ Aug 17th 2007 2:54PM
That was... Bad.

Ace121212 @ Aug 17th 2007 3:15PM
Seemed more creapy than funny. I agree that 'Red Ring of Fire' was way better.
Trashman @ Aug 17th 2007 3:15PM
That was somewhat funny. Still can't believe that was kevin

I was thing about getting an Xbox 360. Do we know which lot numbers are the bad ones? I "don't want to get burned"...
Big @ Aug 17th 2007 4:12PM
I wish that I didn't find any humor in this, but due to 3 failed consoles..... lol
horngreen @ Aug 17th 2007 4:45PM
Oh the REAL fanboys come out for this one. Can't even take a joke AT ALL. If you truly think you have the best console then you should be able to take some heat over it's flaws. I have a 360, love it, love the good games, onine is the best and YES she has RRODed on me once and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. But I've been enjoying it for a year and a half instead of saying "wait til Killzone 2!"...Sorry had to do that.
Dave @ Aug 17th 2007 6:12PM
I honestly just don't think it's very well done. It's got nothing to do with not being able to take a joke. The 360 has a design flaw. It sucks. So does that song.
Lucky @ Aug 17th 2007 6:29PM
You know how ironic this is?
I was on the phone today caues my 360 would free, caues the TV to make a loud noise, and start flashing funny colours and patrens.
I was on the phone with a rep and got RED RING.
Now every time I turn it on my 360 will other intently freeze (makeing the funny sounds) and flash funny colours. That's if it doesn't RedRing 1st.
It was a launch 360, so it realy held in there till the bitter end compared to other 360's at lest.
=/
*sigh's and waits for the coffin*
At lest the extended warntty will cover this, even if it decides not to red ring when they turn it on.
hotnutz @ Aug 17th 2007 10:18PM
Everyone keeps saying that this is no longer "news" or "an issue". Did I miss something? Did Microsoft fix all the 360s currently out there through a patch? Because if they haven't, then RROD is still news. Face it, it's going be news for the next 3 years.
Great parody! Kudos for a job well done.

G4 is sweet. Fuck the haters.
