Microsoft's
efforts to
divert attention from the Xbox 360's
reportedly high failure rates were were certainly not helped today by an infamous
Red Ring of Death that showed up at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. An
intrepid BBC reporter noted the common hardware failure on display at Microsoft's XNA area in the Moscone Center's North Hall.
Perhaps this is why the whole XNA area was
protected by a shroud as recently as yesterday. Then again, perhaps not. Regardless, the BBC is certainly correct in noting that "at the very least it's embarrassing for the company that its own stock of demo machines are still susceptible to the problem." Check out the full video of the "event" below.
