G4 makes Red Ring of Death metal music video

We've given G4 a hard time in this very space before, but when they get one right, we've got to give it to them. And this is one of those times. We're not sure if we're alone in this, dear reader, but we got some chuckles out of their new "Red Ring of Death" music video by Distended Warranty (disclaimer: We doubt that's a real band).

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.

Agreed A GO. Also fuck Microsoft's hardware division.

Yo~~ Dat shit was hot son!!

As for which video was done better? I'd have to caulk one up for the G4 team. The other song has a nice jingle to it...because its from the ol country singer from the 40s. And the RRF video didn't have a unique video attached.

Great job G4.

Now like dude said up the top...which are the new and improved consoles? I'm missing out on so many games. Like others that own both systems...if one is better on the other...purchase the better of the two. That is what I would like to do...but to get the RROD would cause me cut a mofo!

Hey, isn't that Kevin Panera with the makeup?

"not an issue anymore", "not topical for months" hahahaha are you joking? As soon as they fix the 360's so they don't boil water with their graphics chips, I'm buying one. Saying this isn't topical or current is a bloody joke. They brick all the time, and the movie was funny. Don't take it personally, sheesh.

Yes.. that's Kevin and the other guy is Office Jesus. Great stuff.

Good stuff. Now we have musical parodies of metal (above), Johnny Cash (SarcasticGamer.com) and Wallflowers (myspace.com/paletteswapninja), all about RRoD. When was the last time a technical error inspired a jukebox full of songs?
